    Read about it here. Looks useful (although judging from the message boards a lot of people are mistaking it for a p2p programme and expecting to be able to search for files... :rolleyes:

    You have to invite people to access your libraries, so it's more like a private network, really. Anyone here using it? I'd be interested to see what the file transfer speeds are like... (send me a pm if you want to swap addies).

    ...?

    Don't really see how it's any less secure than online storage à la Yahoo! briefcase. The files stay on your computer, and can only be accessed by invited members (unlike, say, a p2p network). And the reviews in PCWorld, etc. are legit. Mind you, it's only just been added to Cnet's downloads section. Maybe I'll wait to read a few user reviews (or Editor's!) before I try it out...

    Ah well.
