Beta Beat: QuickShareIt
I downloaded a copy, dropped some files onto it, but couldn't get it to work very well during my tests. The requirements say Mac OS X Tiger and up, but it was no go on my 10.4 G4. Some users over at MacRumors had better luck than I did.
The beta is limited to 10MB files but according to the developers it will shortly expand up to 100MB. I look forward to when they get this up and working. It looks like a nice alternative to yousendit.

Why on earth is this being posted to an Apple weblog? This is a multi-platform internet app that isn't specifically Apple-related. Stop posting 50 posts a day and stick to the quality stuff, writers and editors.

Look for beta 4 towards the end of this week/next week with preferences and a history dialog (possibly a progress bar, we hear you guys asking for it.. but it might be put off until beta 5)
To those who couldn't get it to work period earlier in the day, you probably downloaded beta 2, give beta 3 a try and let us know if that fixes any issues from before.
Couldn't get it to work on G5 10.4.8, Tried several different file sizes, and even a jpeg. All it did was blink once and die.
I'd say it's not even a beta yet.
Sounds like DropSend to me...

1go free by http or 5go free by ftp.
in french, first field is your file, second field your email and other fields are your friends emails.
I'm suffering deja-vu. Wasn't there an app like this in the last week or so? Only your file transfers didn't go via an intermediate server, so there were no size limits, but the receiver's download speed is capped by the sender's upload rate (but on the up-side you're making the most of bandwidth you've already paid for, rather than buying more).
I have looked around, and I have used the search, but failed to find it again. :-(
there is still such an application it's called Pando http://pando.com
don't know why there have to be another one
but ok, Rapidshare belongs to the past :D
