Pando: new tool for transferring large files

Pando is a brand-new tool for moving large files instead of e-mailing them. You sign up for their service (which is free), then use their small application (available for Mac OS X and Windows) to create Pando Packages. Under the hood, Pando uses BitTorrent to upload the files to their server; the recipient of the email gets a small file that tells their local Pando application which files to get and from where. So far, it works great; I was able to move about 60MB of files to one of my editors at Penton with no trouble; I’m looking forward to trying it with some of the other folks I work with to see how it handles larger file loads.
