Well.. It's strange, Mega is a beast :)
Maybe a lot of traffic on downloading? I don't know
Super fast for me. 15s download. I do have a fast connection but just to say Mega servers are running fine.

I like sendspace too bits. The only little downside is that it's not supported by quite a few file manager with Cloud capabilities & also their apps (like the one for Android are pathetic).
Mediafire does much better in that respect.
Otherwise the service is pretty cool.

CECH 25104 is not a correct model type. Check it again & compare your model to the list of ps3 models.
SKU Models - PS3 Developer wiki

If your console turns out to be downgradeable for sure, you will need a hardware flasher (such as Teensy or E3 flasher) to jailbreak.
It'll probably be cheaper/safer to have it done by a professional.
There are good downgrading tutorials on this forum or on PS3Hax. If you are thinking about doing this yourself, you should probably start by reading those to get a general idea.

You can also find some more details here:

My console is CECH-2504A sry i didnt see it well, i dont know about this e3 flasher etc... I cant downgrade by usb stick ?
No you cannot. Downgrading with a USB stick will only be possible once the console has been flashed with a hardware flasher back to 3.55 not before! Sorry.

Also CECH2504 might be problematic...
You need to use Minver method to find out if your console is downgradeable.
Find the information about this procedure there:
Talk:Playstation Update Package (PUP) - PS3 Developer wiki

I should do the steps on the website?
Yes download the minVerChk PUP & follow the steps to find out the minimum fw version as indicated in paragraph:
"Using fake upgrade to get lowest firmware version info"
Report the displayed version afterwards
