Featured Freeware: Pando

by Seth Rosenblatt

Emailing large attachments has never been easy, but Pando for Windows and Mac combines P2P tech with a clean interface to make sharing files or folders as large as 1 GB a cinch--and free.

Circumventing FTP servers, online storage, and tertiary e-mail accounts, Pando either generates a link for instant messages and Web pages, or e-mails your recipient a tiny attachment. When you click that attachment or link, Pando connects to its server and downloads the "package," as the Pando people call the contents of your attachment. You even have 14 days to grab the "package" before it gets deleted from their server. Other useful features include support for multiple addressees, Yahoo and Outlook plug-ins that automatically Pando-ize attachments, and a record of how many times your package has been downloaded.

Easy to use, Pando could drastically change how files are transferred between small groups of people.

Dear Seth Rosenblatt,

I wish you, that also your job changed someone for FREE. If your children haven't something to eat, and you don't earn no one dollar, then remember my words. Also please forward these words for all your colegue, taht wrote FREEWARE rewiews. Thanks so much. YOU KILL all software industry. Stay live only teens, that eat pizza, live with their mother and have time to made Freeware.

Bad thing about pando: to download the file, the uploader must be online.
