All the services for uploading large files to the Internet, perhaps to send them to someone or to share them with friends, seen so far, are of two types . Some allow you to transfer real-time files shared in p2p, so that the file is shared by a computer and it can be downloaded and retrieved directly, without going through a server.
The drawback is that if the computer that transmits the file is disconnected, the file will no longer be available for download.
The second type concerns instead the so-called hosting sites where to upload files and wait for the upload to finish before being able to share them with others.
On this occasion we see a new rather innovative website, where files can be uploaded which, if shared through the link provided, can be downloaded immediately, before the upload finishes.
Not only can you download the files but, if, for example, you upload a music or an mp3 file, it can be listened to in streaming, without necessarily having to download.
This site, new and, for now, completely free, is called Ge.tt.
In the vast panorama of file sharing, Ge.tt has released a one-click tool for sharing files of any kind, even very large.
To upload a file, no software installation is required on the computer, nor a registration to the site to create an account.
At first glance, Ge.tt does not present any big news compared to the myriad of other file-sharing services, but its instantaneous aspect is its characteristic that no one else has.
As soon as you choose the file to upload to the Gett website, a URL will be immediately displayed and can be shared on Twitter, Facebook or via Email before the upload finishes.
Whoever receives the link will be able to start downloading that file, regardless of whether everything has been uploaded or not.
The files are available in the browser immediately and you don't have to wait to download.
As said, you can upload any file with a size not exceeding 2 GB, even without registration .
If you create an account, however, you can manage uploads and shares, to see statistics on visits and downloads.
Each file brought to the Ge.tt website also supports the " View " option which allows anyone to watch files shared by another, regardless of the type of file, in a browser without having to download them.
Probably, during this year, premium paid accounts will be opened but, I think, browser extensions will also be developed so that you can upload files to the site with a click, without accessing the homepage.
For the moment the site where to upload files is free for everyone, without limits and with full respect for privacy.
In terms of service, it can be read that no uploaded file is cataloged by the site and cannot even be searched on the internet or on internal search engines.
