Use bittorrent. I am very serious, it is well designed for that, especially if you are sending to several people.

  This is just not realistic in most cases. It's hard enough to get people to understand "Click on the FileSonic link". Normal people do not have Bittorrent clients installed. I'd try FTP before Bittorrent.

    They've just released "share", works fantastically - seems to be a combo of BT and S3.

      How about a link? "Share" is to vague a word to google.

        I find your lack of search-fu disturbing ;) http://www.getshareapp.com/ http://www.getshareapp.com/

          And here I thought you were talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share_(P2P) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share_(P2P)

            That's hardly "just released". It has been out for years.

    Maybe browsers should include bittorrent support like Opera does.

    Most people are used to install software when it is just "download, open, install". When installed, it associates with .torrent files and it is effectively as easy as clisking a link.

  Most companies forbid bittorrent traffic because it saturates the local intranet, especially on wifi networks. And because they perceive bittorrent to be illegal.

    We need to repackage it. "Corporate Sharing System" sounds good. "Hey admin! You are blocking CSS !" "I.. Uh... What ?"
• droithomme 15y ago
  OK, thanks very much for the recommendation, I will try that. I never even considered using bittorrent for 1 to 1 file transfers. Does require that clients are willing to use bittorrent, which won't always be the case but it's good to have options. I do realize there are still other cyberlockers up, but it seems highly possible they are all going down soon, disabling service to the US, or will be severely feature limited.

    Why not invest in a cheap server? Give them direct download links?
  • Iv 15y ago
    Just rename it. Call it Corporate File Sharer or something.

  Some organizations get upset if they detect someone on their network trying to use bittorrent.
  • Iv 15y ago
    Well they need to get over it and begin to be upset about people using skype.
