  Staff has requested that all feature requests be sent in via feedback (on your dashboard). You’ll have to wait for them to open on Monday morning. You get extra credit for including the reasons why you’d like to see a particular feature added.

  That said, I’ve never used it, but I do believe there is already a filesharing widget for wp.com (boxnet or something to that effect).

  Yup boxnet is on, but for some insane reason theres a file size limit of 10mb, which i think is a bit skimpy. Especially since they give you 1gb of space.

  Pando looks dodgy to me, i have a serieous miss trust of all Peer-2-Peer applications. Wont be to long before they run into the same trouble YouTube is in now for hosting illegal movies and stuff.

  P2P is only an issue for those who don’t understand it and how to use it properly.

  uhm, i do understand how it works, im an active fansuber of anime and scanlator of manga. I’ve been using P2P for years, and i still say its dodgy. Also over here in the UK its ilegal, add into that that most of the major Isp’s block the ports it uses. Sure you can get around that with encryption and port forwarding, but it’s still a very dodgy process.
