“no file size limit” sounds like a challenge…

It’s pointless; you can have both sides download PeaZip (which, FYI, is superior to 7-Zip because it’s cross-platform instead of being Windows-only) and run part splicers; easy workaround. This only adds to the problem of yet another non-E2E service in the running.

Don’t tempt me with 10tb of /dev/urandom

1s take longer than 0s to xfer, so they must be roomier.

Is it because the 1s get stuck in the bends in the pipe, but the nice round 0s can get around the corners more easily?

Its also worth noting that the service skips end-to-end encryption “to improve speed and compatibility across browsers”, … according to MEGA, files stay encrypted while stored and are only decrypted temporarily in server memory … this model may not meet the needs of users who require strict zero-access encryption.

Oof

Also only free until next year

Worst honeypot ever.

It looks like the download will be limited to 100 downloads after January 1s but no file limit transfer.it/compare.

Can someone make a middleman program to make this into a seedbox?
