Joel on a different idea on sharing files

Joel has lots of positive things to say about this:

This is a great implementation of a simple idea that brilliantly solves the nagging problem that it’s just not easy enough to transfer large files down the hall, let alone halfway around the world, and it’s going to take off like wildfire.

Mayyybe… but you still need to download a piece of software to get this working but at least it’s reasonably cross platform. I remain skeptical. What happens when something goes wrong? Does it handle this well? What about if the company goes under what happens to the service? Maybe I”ll try it out but I’m still skeptical.
