Does mega.nz block AI crawlers?
Partly. As of October 19, 2026, mega.nz's robots.txt blocks none of the 17 AI crawlers we check from the whole site, but keeps all 17 out of parts of it. None of them is named in the file: they all follow its rules for every crawler (User-agent: *).
We did not request /llms.txt: robots.txt does not allow ContextFetchBot to fetch it. Its homepage is 632 tokens of raw HTML; our extractor, which does not run JavaScript, found no text in it.

From https://mega.nz/robots.txt (1,798 bytes, 3 user-agent groups), parsed per RFC 9309. Blocked: no path allowed. Partly blocked: some paths disallowed. The rule counts are those of the groups that apply.
