Bittorrent + Email = Podmailing

podmailingPretty much all the free email-based file sending services out there limit the size of file you can send and then usually delete it from their servers after a certain amount of time. Podmailing has gotten around that limitation by using bittorrent. You download a little app that converts the file you want to send into bittorrent and then send it to the recipient’s email. Then they can use their bittorrent client to snag it. Pretty neat. The only drawbacks are that you have to install a program and get a VIPeers account and you can’t see if the file was received or not. You can, however, say how long the file would be available, a week or never if you desire.
