Well, google and gmail have multiple sites, so depending on where you're located you might be hitting a different server than I am.

Invention: The McDownload

Movie, music or game with your Big Mac, sir? That’s what The Walt Disney Company in Hollywood has in mind. Patents filed by Disney reveal plans to drip-feed entertainment into a portable player while the owner eats in a restaurant.

You only get the full programme by coming back to the restaurant a number of times to collect all the instalments. McDonalds could use the system instead of giving out toys with Happy Meals, suggests Disney’s patent.

Portable players and modern cellphones store entertainment files in memory cards. They often have built-in Bluetooth or WiFi, too, for wireless downloading. Big files, such as a movie, take a long time to capture, so Disney will break the file into several segments that can be downloaded separately and spliced together by the player.

When the owner buys a meal they get an electronic code that authorises a partial download. If the file is in five parts there is a strong incentive to come back for four more meals.

That could be crack, if well managed.

That Foldershare program looks sweet. Hopefully, my friend will get it working on his machine.

Jon,

the only thing you need to know, is you need to go to Foldershare Satellite (in your toolbar), More, Settings, Transfers

Uncheck "allow web transfers from this computer"

Otherwise, I think it is possible for someone with access to your folder will be able to access any file on your computer. Which...I don't think you want.

I recently saw a list of filesharing sites. Lemme dig it up.

Ah, here it is. I only copied the text, so you'll have to google the sites, but:

There's also SendThisFile (www.sendthisfile.com), free membership, no size limit, but only 3 downloads per file.

My office uses Whalemail, which is good, but not free.
