Movies | Megashare

The site functioned as an aggregator. It did not always host the massive video files on its own physical hardware. Instead, it embedded video players linked to various third-party cloud storage lockers. To the end-user, the experience was seamless: search for a title, click a play button, and watch a movie instantly without paying a dime.

Megashare (often stylized as MegaShare or MegaShare9) gained massive popularity by functioning as a high-quality, free movie streaming directory. Unlike platforms that host content directly, Megashare functioned as a search engine and aggregator, indexing links to movies hosted on various third-party servers.

For a platform that seemed to be thriving, its end came relatively quickly. Megashare officially shut down in 2014 due to what is reported as an issue with its video provider. Although some mirror sites continued to pop up, the original site was removed from Google search results, marking the beginning of the end for this era.

While the allure of free content is strong, using sites like Megashare carries significant risks. The original site was a pirate platform, and its many clones and successors are even more dangerous. It's essential to understand these risks before seeking out similar websites.

Note: Due to copyright infringement issues, the original Megashare domain has been shut down and resurrected under different, unofficial URLs multiple times over the past decade. The Risks of Using Free Streaming Sites in 2026

Today, film enthusiasts are encouraged to use legal alternatives that support the creators. Major platforms now offer affordable, high-definition libraries that provide the same convenience Megashare once did, but with the security and ethical standards of the modern era.

Introduction

Many chess enthusiasts would like to do 6-men endgame analysis, but no one wants to host 1 TB of files for download. So we have to help ourselves. This page is an attempt to organize a persistent online availability of the whole set of Nalimov 6-men tablebases. This project depends solely on chess lovers community, it's up to us to choose if we will download any tablebases for free, or if we will have to buy them on DVD from Chessbase etc..

If you are not sure what endgame tablebases are or how to use them, you can learn the basics from Wikipedia or from Aaron Tay's EGTB Guide.

eMule

We use eDonkey and KAD networks, and eMule software for sharing the tablebase files, so if you want to download them you will have to install eMule (or aMule if you use Mac or Linux). If you are new to eMule please take a look at the tutorial, and official help pages. Here you can learn how to set up eMule behind a firewall or router. The site functioned as an aggregator

Some hints about configuring eMule the best way by our eMule expert Thomas: Thread 1, Thread 2. If you will have any questions or problems, please ask at EGTB forum. Good luck! To the end-user, the experience was seamless: search

Please keep sharing the files after you downloaded them.

3-4-5 men bases

Just in case you don't have them, you should download and install all 3-4-5 men tables before even thinking of using 6-men tables. You can get them from Bob Hyatt, Chesslib Norm Pruitt (also FTP) or Joshua Shriver, but you might as well try using eMule and download them by these links:

All 3-men bases – ed2k link ⇒ 65 KB ZIP (tbs | md5)
All 4-men bases – ed2k link ⇒ 30 MB ZIP (tbs | md5)
5-men tablebases: 4+1 without pawns – emulecollection ⇒ 0.37 GB in 40 files (tbs | md5)
5-men tablebases: 4+1 with pawns – emulecollection ⇒ 1.06 GB in 30 files (tbs | md5)
5-men tablebases: 3+2 without pawns – emulecollection ⇒ 1.36 GB in 80 files (tbs | md5)
5-men tablebases: 3+2 with pawns – emulecollection ⇒ 4.25 GB in 70 files (tbs | md5)

6-men endgame tablebases

All files in this section are "emulecollections" - simple text files containing one or several ed2k links. Paste those links into your eMule and it will start trying to download the files.

Smileys show 'spread status' of each tablebase:
megashare movies – Super-shared tablebase – All files have 10 full sources (peers with complete files).
– Well-shared tablebase – At least 3 full sources exist.
– At least one full source exist - a recently shared base, not spread yet.
– Tablebase disappeared from the network. It was available for some while, but now the original releaser disconnected before anyone else could get the files. If you have any sets marked with this smiley, please share them online!
megashare movies – Tablebase was never released yet.
If you notice that some tablebase is spread more, or less, than stated here, please drop me email and I'll update this page.

The download order is completely up to you. A few things that you may consider:
1. It's good to get small bases before trying the big ones. The best start would be KNNKNN and KBBKBB.
2. It's better to get pawnless bases before getting those with pawns, to avoid the possible "incomplete tablebase problem".
3. You will have better experience if you start with bases which are already shared by many people ( megashare movies and ).
4. You may like to download tablebases by "importance" order, which is based on statistics of occurrance of each ending in real games. Several such lists exist: by Dieter Bürßner, Nelson Hernandez, and Peter Kasinski.
5. You may like to first download tablebases for endgames where longer checkmates are possible.
