AskMeCha YouSendIt Q: The other night I posted a song here using YouSendIt. However, when you click on the link to download the song it makes you sign in? I have never seen this before. What is up with that? Now the song is huge, being somewhere around thirty minutes long. Is that it, or is there something else?

Yousendit is full of fine fucking idiots -- they keep telling me to upgrade my browser, as if Firefox 1.5 is not as perfect an implementation of web standards as ever there was. Kick 'em to the curb, if you ask me. Why should morons derive advertising revenue from you? Especially morons who don't give you the "this browser is unsupported" message once, but every time you open a page.

I use Senduit now.

Anyway -- it probably just exceeded the free downloads, which have been reduced to three over seven days, or 100 for YouSendIt Lite users.

OK, here is the same song via Senduit.

Thanks for that much needed alternative, stilicho!

YouSendit has been pissing me off as well. I think I'm going to start using Senduit too.

Whenever Lonefrontranger does a YSI, I get that sign in message. Not that I think that helps, I just wanted you to know you are not alone.
