I'm beta testing/demoing/proto-typing/whatevering a new web utility I created.

Right now, the utility is at FileSaver

What the utlity does is that you enter a URL to a file you want (and an email address) The utility then goes out and gets the file and copies it to my server. Then you have the option of downloading it from my server, having the file split in parts and downloading the parts individually, or having the parts mailed to you.

The idea behind this was someone was having trouble downloading a largish file over their connection and thought it would be easier to have the file split in several pieces and emailed to them. I thought that might be useful so I wrote the utility to do so.

If this is a workable idea for others, I will take the proto-type code and improve some error handling and maybe add some 'user account' features for managing downloaded files. I am also looking to monetize the utility by a) charging a small fee based on download traffic b) putting up Google AdSense links c) selling the code to others for their own personal use (for people who have their own server)

Anyway, I would appreciate people checking it out and giving me feedback and/or ideas

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
