JetBytes - a curious file-sharing service

1st May 2009

Unlike the number of traditional services with similar functionality, JetBytes does not require the presence of any broker. The file owner does not need to pre-load data for the transmission in an online repository. Data is transferred directly from one computer to another.
JetBytes interface pleases with its simplicity. The client just enters the site and in a special dialog box, selects the file that he wants to share with others. After performing this simple operation JetBytes generates random URL-address, which must be transmitted to a second participant of the transaction. By clicking on the provided link, the recipient opens in the browser window an appropriate dialog box where he can select a folder to save the received file.
The suppliers guarantee the complete safety of the provided service. The file remains available until the page is open in sender`s browser. But if the file owner leaves JetBytes, the connection will be immediately disconnected, regardless of whether the file transfer is completed. To ensure the sender of the fact that the operation is completed successfully, the display shows a visual indicator of the fulfillment. JetBytes successfully operates even if one of the parties (or both of them) is separated from the global network by a firewall with strict limitations.
It should be noted that JetBytes does not impose any limits on the type or size of transmitted files. The service is provided totally for free, more over the service does not require any registration and entering of personal information, lifehacker.com writes.
