Reading: “Podmailing: Bypass for BitTorrent Throttling”

If it happens that you are discovering Podmailing through this page, here is what you need to know:

* Podmailing is a software/service enabling anyone to send & receive files of any size by email - why?
* It is based on [standard email] + [BitTorrent / http] to transfer the oversize attachments
* It is all open technology, our specifications are available, and open source will be released soon
* In addition to Peer-To-Peer transfers, quality of service is achieved by relaying the files on our servers which participate in the BitTorrent swarms and enable http upload & download

If you get the impression that our servers are providing a BitTorrent re-seeding service you are not far from the truth. Although Podmailing is currently only meant for one-to-few “e-mail” private communication, we have a one-to-many publishing service in the works too.
