ETOOMANY issues
Describe the bug I already reduced the size to 16gb; but megatools fails.. Other I have acces without problem in the web of MEGA and upload without problem.
To Reproduce
[makerpm@localhost ~]$ megatools ls /Root/urpms/updates/27 --debug=api --reload
-> [{
"a": "us",
"user": "[email protected]",
"uh": "rVyKOkFRoYo"
}]
<- [
-6
]
ERROR: Can't login to mega.nz: API call 'us' failed: Server returned error ETOOMANY
Expected behavior Acces to my account...
Environment:
- Linux Fedora 28
- git version also the 1.10.2:
That's "Too many concurrent IP addresses are accessing this upload target URL"
Not sure what it means for "us" API action, though. Perhaps too many login attempts from the same IP?
Any idea why that may be the case for you?
I am not sure; I maintain 3 CI services syncthing with MEGA; but it's sporadic. I closed all session in the admin site, reduced to 2GB and same result; The ironic, I can upload without problem in the site in my country but not with megatools, my account is of 50GB (old account). Only a remember I was notify with 39GB; then I reduced to 16GB, y now I reduced to 2GB. Same results. :cry:
It's probably not file size related (it fails during login). I've never seen this error. (and the description in the API docs looks non-sensical in the context of login)
Are you using a single account from multiple IP addresses at once?
Yes, the CI services includes a different IP, maybe a task was uploading files and other download... or uploading the same time. But generally my tasks worked fine... I contacted to mega and also ask me to check my "history"; but yes I have differents IPs I never had the problem... Ironic, I have full access to my account in the browser... In theory, IPs should not affect; because it is a synchronization service; Today I am in my country I leave my PC turned on, I travel to another country and use my account ... my phone other IP... :sob:
Yes, but rejection is done by mega's servers, which I don't control. Perhaps you can ask mega's support why it's rejecting the above mentioned ('us') API call with the -6 error in your case.
Your browser may not be sending us api call, because it's already logged in.
finally I deleted my account; I am not sure if is a action to old account with 50GB real; I made a new account and now I have 15GB and some bonus (180 days) enabling some services or sharing the service... Then; megatools works normally again.
The answer from MEGA was to use its client and api... But Its don't work for me...
Interesting, perhaps they're changing the limits on the new accounts, and you hit some kind of an edge case. I can still see 50GB on my account with 30GB filled. Who knows.
I doubt they can maintain accounts with 50GB; for example: Onedrive offers 50GB without limits for $2 per month; of course their free space is 5GB, but it works in a similar way ... For now I am satisfied with the fixed 15GB that MEGA gives, but I need 25Gb aprox.
Well; If anybody here has the same issue; the problem is because exist too many concurrent IP addresses are accessing your upload target URL...
This is silly; Because if you use the official clients (MEGAsync, web ...) in a PC that you have in Switzerland for example and you are living in Brazil (using the web) or use an CI service using "docker" you will lose access to your account; and there is no way to access even with your backup password. Something that does not happen in Dropbox or another service. Security measures? or ignorance?
Unfortunate. Connecting from CI machine can be especially unfortunate, especially if using a thirdparty service that uses many machines with different IPs.
As with any generous free service, you get excessive use, and then the owner eventually starts limiting access. So here we are. From 50G with no quotas down to 15G, 5G quotas, and various incetive programs, and account/IP blocking, etc.
I use 10MB-1GB approx max (sporadic) in my account (isn't excessive), reduced to 10MB because my files (rpms linux) are temporal (I use it as a backup temporally). Then my traffic is low; detecting multiple IPs is bad for all but not logic, don't matter if its is a free account. Imagine if I pay a PRO account, It will be the same results and is easy lost your files. Megatools is a good client; I don't like the official cli, because is impossible the automations; Who needs interactive tools?.
I was speaking in general, not about you. People who overuse the free service spoil the party for everyone in the end. It's hard to determine who uses the service nicely and who just got his 50th IP address to avoid quotas. You almost always have to use some heuristics, and nice users will get blocked too, if they stray further from the norm.
I guess mega's not too excited either, to block nice free users, because it lessens trust in their service.
