All current downloads

We provide installer and installer-less installations for all supported platforms. Most users should download the installer (or the application on OS X), some users may prefer the installer-less bundle consisting of plain binaries and data packages.

Offline distribution

Since availability of Internet access and bandwidth still varies a lot across this planet and downloading hundreds of megabytes is not an option for everyone, you may prefer to obtain a copy of MegaGlest by postal mail, in form of handouts during events or similar. For this purpose, the greater MegaGlest community has started to weave a network for offline distribution. You are welcome to make use of this service if downloading is not a good option.
