per-object-cap: none advertised per transfer, but the real ceiling is the 20 GiB ephemeral-account storage (mstrg) — a transfer larger than the account's remaining space cannot complete. Retention: SERVER CLAMPS EXPIRY TO 90 DAYS. Verified with a:xl on transfers requested at 1d/90d/1y/10y/no-expiry: all returned e = now+90.00 days. The 10-year ceiling in transferit-py's docs (MAX_EXPIRY_SECONDS) is a CLIENT clamp the server silently overrides. Request-rate: not hit in ~10 uploads.

Toolingtransferit-py (PyPI, github.com/viperadnan-git/transferit-py, 20 stars, pushed 2026-04-22) — CLI + library, pip install worked and roundtrip verified. Also NTFSvolume/mega.py has a read-only transfer.it client.
Composes withEach Transferit() upload creates a NEW anonymous MEGA account (a:up + a:us, no email/phone) => 20 GiB x unlimited free accounts. Shard a file into 20 GiB (or 4 GiB) objects, one ephemeral account per shard, one URL per shard. Cost per identity: two unauthenticated API calls.
ReliabilityExpiry IS re-settable in place: a:xm with a new 'e' on an existing xh works and returns 0 (verified 1d -> 30d -> 90d). This is the 'transfer as store' trick — an unexpired transfer can be pushed back to the 90-day wall indefinitely without re-uploading, so the object only dies if you stop touching it for 90 days. Parallel ranged GETs scale (0.29 MB/s @1 conn -> 2.73 MB/s @32 conn on a 32 MiB object, 206s throughout); occasional 403 on a range suggests per-connection shaping, not a hard pull cap.
