Hi,

Thank you for the feedback. There is a limitation in the technology used in dushare, it completely relies on UDP streaming which makes it really fast, but not firewall friendly. We are working on a potential solution (fall back to TCP transfer), to be released in the next cycle. Loading the entire file in memory before sending it is a flash-player constraint out of security concerns, it doesn't allow flash-player to manipulate files on the computer directly, no solution found to this problem yet.

and your UI problems are noted, thank you.

UDP? So you do your own checksums to guarantee the file isn't corrupted?

UDP seems like a really bad idea for a filesharing solution.

Actually, UDP opens a lot of capabilities for real-time collaboration as in chat, ,audio, video transfer in a very quick and reliable manner.

UDP is more easier to penetrate a firewall, IMHO...
