FileTea is a simple way to send files to other people: drag a file into your web browser, give the link to your friends and they can start downloading it right away.

This is not a substitute for DropBox and the like. FileTea is not a file hosting service: the web server is only used to route the traffic, no data is stored there.
You can see it as a web-based P2P file sharing system, or a replacement for good ol’ DCC SEND. You don’t need to worry about firewalls or redirections: if you can surf the web, you can send the file. The only client that you need is your browser.
FileTea is a project developed by my fellow Igalian Eduardo Lima, and you can see more details about it here. It was written on top of EventDance, a peer-to-peer inter-process communication library based on GLib and also written by him (see also The Web jumps into D-Bus).
FileTea is free software and you can download it and install it in your machine.
We have also set up a server at http://filetea.me/.
Important: this is still an alpha release and our bandwith is limited so bear with us if you find any problem 
Happy sharing!
