for those of you who tried to download a megaboard from the media section and got a '502 Bad Gateway' error page, it was because the files were too big
must have something to do with the settings for timeout on the server side anything smaller than 160MB seems to work fine, so I left those alone
but for all the ones larger than that I went into their description and added a direct link -- so the files are now accessible via that link
