I'm going to assume this service is faster than a regular IM Send File. If not, I don't know why I pay to use it beyond my free IM or the free alternatives like DropSend or Dreamhost Files Forever, among many many others.
- api 19y agoIM send file almost never works if both parties are behind firewalls. Skype works, but it tends to be very slow since it almost always ends up relaying (sometimes several times) to get around the NAT problem. This uses some sophisticated NAT traversal magic. It usually is as fast as a direct TCP connection or nearly so.
