There are no file or size limits, no software to download and install, and it is 100% free. It also works on all platforms, including Windows, Mac and Linux. The site is <a href='http://fileai.com/' rel="nofollow">fileai.com</a>, and we are currently in open beta. If you happen to stop by and give it a try, we’d appreciate any feedback. Thanks! :) Interesting stuff, because I am currently developing a web site that allows you to basically the same thing but without having to download and install a program on your computer.

Podmailing is not a replacement for BitTorrent, it is built on BitTorrent. Now I perfectly understand you'd prefer to use your usual BT client instead of Podmailing, in fact that's why we provide the .torrent link ;-) I just want to bring to your attention that our service provides a kind of free seeding for your torrents. Because as soon as you hit the "Send podmail" button, your file is uploaded (seeded, actually) towards our server and then you can close your PC, we keep it seeded for 30 days, with a temporary bandwidth boost for 48h after the end of the upload. This will pretty soon take the form of a "publishing" service, with the possibility to keep the file seeded for much longer, say several months. I'm looking for private beta testers of this new feature, so don't hesitate to contact me if you want in. Best spot is our page on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Podmailing/5646569569 alexis, if I may, BitTorrent is a great technology, I love it too.

I'm really looking forward to Podmailing overtaking the conventional online file-storage/sharing. Good job guys!

You have a very good understanding of the system. let me just add that when you download using Podmailing, the underlying BitTorrent client is used, so you have the same P2P benefits as when you use the ".torrent" link (in addition to the extra info you get from the ".zed" podmail link), and you actually exchange data with other people using a BitTorrent client if there are any. I have read your suggestions, and they are sensible. Privacy is very important to us. Currently the Podmailing security is equivalent to that of standard email and we plan to improve on that with encryption and authentication in the future. On a shorter timescale we do plan to manage user accounts pretty soon. And concerning file retention duration, it's true that users don't always want to max out the duration. So we are designing a system that will let the sender choose how long his files should be kept. Hi Jackson, thanks a lot for the review. You have a very good understanding of the system.
