Hi All:

BitTorrent may be getting into the "DropBox" type market.

The difference will be that the data will not be stored in the Cloud, at
least not permanently and that the data transferred will be protected via
256 bit AES encryption. The product will also run on all the standard OSs,
Mac, Windows and Linux.

Whether there will be size limits on data transfers is yet to be answered
but if the new product runs like the current BitTorrent client it might
become a must-half for doing remote secure backups.
