So, FilePanda is the solution!
Simply browse for the file you want to share and click upload... That's it!
Once the file is uploaded, you'll be given a link to share with all those you're sharing the love with.
They visit the link and download the file at a super-fast speed.
Easy.

The History
FilePanda was originally launched 24th of December 2006, as an initial trial of the 'CodeIgniter' PHP Framework.
Once the site was launched, it took off, hosting far more files that Elliot could have ever thought.
But, there was one key problem - scalability.
FilePanda was hosting all of the files off its own dedicated server.
But if that server went down, the whole of the site was useless.
So, in November 2007, Elliot decided to rewrite FilePanda (in CodeIgniter, of course!) using Amazon's S3 to host files.
Producing the new, improved, fast, reliable... FilePanda!
