Pando pando…

January 12th, 2006

Damn, just when I thought I’m not susceptible to word-of-mouth marketing I fell for it. I even wrote about this in the distractions, but Pando is damn cool! It works automagically from behind firewalls and transferring large files from one another is made easy… something I’ve been looking for a looooong time.

The catch is that it sends a .pando file to the receiver with the download information for the file you are really sending. After this the file is uploaded to Pando’s server and the receiver is able to download it from there. Cool eh? How come nobody ever came up with this idea earlier? This is very useful for people behind ridiculous firewalls (like me) who cannot use traditional p2p-programs to share media files (in the “not-infringing copyrights” way).

Here’s a direct link to Pando Beta, it’s available to both Mac and PC users :-) sweet.

ps. On a more technical side to bloggers; remember to update your plugins! I had some problems with my categories2tags -plugin as it wasn’t WP2.0 compatible… drove me nuts and now it works a-ok!
