WebApp FilesOverMiles shares your files browser-to-browser with a simple to use interface. While it is considered a P2P application, FilesOverMiles uses a flash movie to upload and share files. To get started, simply click browse, find a file, and select it and FilesOverMiles does the rest. It will give you a URL that you can share that will allow users to download your file. And the great thing is, unlike P2P networks, FilesOverMiles doens’t require seeding, or servers, but instead transfers the file directly to the other computer. When you leave FilesOverMiles, any files you have shared will just disapear from the site. It’s that easy.
FilesOverMiles also doesn’t set a limit to file size, but instead relies on the sharer’s computer and the downloader’s computer settings. The reason for this is Flash Player relies on RAM to download the files to. FilesOverMiles will make the max file size half the size of the downloader’s ram to prevent crashes.

Sure, most of us have heard of CCleaner, the popular cleaning application made by Piriform. Some though, haven’t heard of Recuva (pronounced like recover but make the er sound like a long A), another freeware application from Piriform. Recuva is a file recover program that’s aim is to restore files that you may have accidentally overwritten. It includes many great features that allow you to search (by type, name, etc) and select files to be revcovered.
The real magic of Recuva is the simple principle of file deletion. Basically when you empty your recycling bin, the data is still there, it is just hidden from you, waiting to be overwritten by a newer file. In this way, if you accidentally deleted something chances are you can get it back with Recuva. It’s always a good idea to have such a program as a backup plan just incase, so download Recuva today!
