Nice;
One thing that I think will confuse people: When downloading a file the file name is some random string.zip which when unzipped puts the files in the same folder rather than creating a new folder with the same name as the zip.

I understand, you mean you would like the zip to contain a sub folder with all the files in it. I was just following the example of other big transfer sites, assuming most users open up the zip with windows .. but for mac and linux I agree it could be improved.

#13Here is a little we Transfer competitor I coded in nodejs with the ability to transfer files for free up to 10GB but also the ability to pause and resume an upload later when you need the bandwidth. This is the main itch I was trying to scratch building this, I hate it when you start uploading a huge file and than want to browse the net, Let me know what you think. and happy Christmas everyone :-)
Nice idea. I think this has been posted on HN previously right (e.g., [1])? Would be good to know what the biggest changes are since then. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8204126 EDIT: Added missing question mark.
Not a lot of changes, but it's been a while and it was not getting the love it deserved. I fixed a lot of bugs, added T&C and a proper privacy policy etc. Added a help desk with FAQ etc.
