Show HN: Peer to Peer file transfer in your browser

Yea, we did see issues with a small number of users behind a symmetric nat, which is usually found at work. We're looking into ways around this and we're open to suggestions :)

However, you may still be able to send files back and forth if both users are inside the firewall.

Does not work (sending or receiving) in firefox, which is a damn shame. Works rather well in Chromium, as expected.

What version are you using? We'll look into it and get it fixed asap.

stock firefox in Arch linux current, on two separate machines. both worked fine in chromium.

Same here, doesn't work on FF 30, on Ubuntu. Two machines behind the same NAT router. They connect but the files never get transferred.

I tried that, but I cannot even enter my username. After entry, it won't permit me to click on the 'Continue' button. It does not seem to be active.
