JetBytes Transfers Files Directly Via The Web
11:30PM Jason Fitzpatrick | JetBytes is a web based file-transfer service that skips the whole remote storage model and shares files directly between users. The interface is dead simple. You go to the website and use the browse dialogue to select a file from your computer. JetBytes generates a random URL for your transaction. You then share the URL with the person you’d like to send the file to. As long as you keep your browser open your friend can use that URL to download the file from you—once you navigate away from the JetBytes page even if the transfer is under way it will close the connection. When they load the URL they’ll be given a save dialogue for the file you’re transferring and from there the only limitation is the speed of your two connections. JetBytes does nothing more than route the file transfer through their web server, allowing you to share large files easily others even if one or both of you are behind restrictive firewalls. There is no restriction on the size or type of the files. JetBytes is a free service and requires no registration or personal information. JetBytes [via MakeUseOf] More »

FilePhile Transfers Any Size File Between Any Two Systems
6:01AM Kevin Purdy | Windows/Mac/Linux (All platforms): FilePhile is a peer-to-peer, multi-platform app for getting files of unlimited size between yourself and anyone else willing to give it a try. After registering at FilePhile’s site with an email address and password, you grab and install a copy of the Java-based app, launch it, and add email addresses to your buddy list. Sending a file is a simple right-click on someone’s name, but you can limit the bandwidth eaten up by FilePhile in its preferences. The transfers themselves are encrypted, and, as the site boasts, can be any size. That’s about it, but that’s probably all you need. FilePhile is a free download for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. It requires a Java platform version 1.5 or later to run. Thanks YadidCorvus! FilePhile More »

File Ai Shares Large Files Instantly
9:15AM Adam Pash | Web site file ai supports instantaneous file sharing for large files, allowing the file recipient to begin downloading the file as soon as you begin uploading it. Similar to previously mentioned EatLime, that means you don’t have to wait an hour for a large file to upload to the site’s servers before your friend or co-worker can start downloading it. Unlike EatLime, file ai has no limit on file size—presumably because the file never actually goes through the site’s servers. Instead, file ai uses a BitTorrent-style transfer protocol that goes directly from you to your peer. Like BitTorrent, if you’re sharing the file with more than one person, file ai will create a swarm, speeding up the download. The downside is that if you do have plenty time to upload the file to a site’s server, your recipient won’t get the benefit of the fat download pipe that other file sharing servers boast. file ai is free to use, works in any Java-supported web browser. file ai [via Download Squad] More »
