Mega uses several different methods to do this: (as of 27 Nov 2013)

  1. Filesystem API (Chrome/Firefox Extension polyfill)
  2. Adobe Flash SWF Filewriter (old browsers fallback)
  3. BlobBuilder (IE10/IE11)
  4. MEGA Firefox Extension (deprecated)
  5. Arraybuffer/Blob (in memory) + a[download] (for browsers that support a[download])
  6. MediaSource (experimental streaming solution)
  7. Blob stored in IndexedDB storage + a[download] (Firefox 20+, improvement over the in-memory Blob method)
