Awesome! Most of the file transfer sites I've used before required uploading the entire file before letting you download anything. The ability to stream is a big plus.

Is there a limit to file size?

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
