This is a great concept. I imagined doing something just like this as an exercise to practice a new language, but I'm glad to see it's already been done.

Also a loading gif or something. The pages makes it look like nothing is happening. There is no progress indicator.
there are progress updates, but only after the file begins transferring. also, we can't show you progress in IE, so we just show an animated spinning gif (only in IE)... what browser are you using, and at which step in the process do you feel that we're lacking progress updates?
I was using chrome and nothing was moving or updating so I just left (got a warning that something was happening though)

#25JustBeamIt is great, but why are you posting this again now? A Lifehacker article[1] about it was posted a year ago, and you even posted it on HN[2] a year ago. 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3116057 2: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3109081
we just released an updated version and wanted to tell the world about it
Do you have a changelog or something? What's different?

not at the moment, and not planning on putting a restriction on file size :)
Does the data transfer go through your website's servers, or is it direct from uploader to downloader? Is the transfer encrypted? Thanks!
the transfer goes through our server(s), kind of. all of the bytes do pass through our servers, but they are not stored at all. we are simply a gateway between the uploader and downloader. what you're describing is pure peer-to-peer. the transfer is not encrypted at the moment. we do support encrypted transfers, but we have not turned that on yet

no, we don't have a changelog. with the new version comes a new redesign, much better browser support, a new back-end architecture that is not visible to the users but makes for improved experience, progress updates for both ends of the transfer, better notifications during the transfer, and the most important feature... multiple file transfer
