Did I get that right?
I don't know the details of how the BitTorrent protocol works, could it start seeding a partially uploaded file, or does it require knowledge of the entire file before seeding can begin?
But you're right this solution is a bit simpler for the average user.
Plans are soon to add server nodes in U.S, Middle East and Hong Kong.
It's a really excellent idea and a very simple implementation, like others though I think it needs some more explanation. Good luck.
You may disagree, but It's my opinion that flash should only be used when absolutely necessary.
Great idea, though. Great domain and great design.
UPDATE: here's my shot at it: http://www.nirmalpatel.com/menu.html
The font sizes and padding may not be exact, but I got it close.
It's a shame I cant view the jpg in the browser but great work nonetheless. Though I think bandwidth will get very costly quick.
Until I realized the problem is that your site doesn't except "+" characters in emails and then fails silently entirely, leaving me the expectation that it might be waiting for me.
Anyway, please change the site to something that allows + signs in email addresses so I can try this out that way. Thanks in advance!
You should also fix it such that it doesn't ever fail blankly without any feedback to the user of the problem.

I've used it several times already to exchange files with friends. Just today I sent a 700mb movie to a friend of mine - love the service...
I still think you should implement my suggestion of: a) having a splash screen explaining that the file isn't finished yet for recipients or b) sending all files with a content-type to make the browser download instead of trying to play media files.

1) No explanation of what you're doing. Minimalism is good, being completely text-free not so much.
2) Entering an invalid email address, I get something that looks like a mangled smartquote (opera on ubuntu): 'Email address Recipient’s email(s) is not valid.'
I love the idea (I use eatlime on a very regular basis). Unfortunately, eatlime is faster for me. I'll give you major points for a super clean interface.
This fulfills a decent need, better than the competitors where you have to wait till you're finished uploading the file.
There are a lot of times where I want to transfer something over Adium, but the connection between the parties can't be established. I always was frustrated by the asynchronous workaround of uploading the file, waiting for its completion, and then distributing the url, so your site will come in handy for me. I also like the https option.
Right now the site is running a bit sluggish, hopefully you guys can remedy that shortly.
Well done, I'd say. Good luck to you.
It seems to do what Dropsend and YouSendIt do in a much simpler way.
