Disadvantage

The largest file size that you can share is 2GB, which is not too big. This can severely limit the types of videos you can share. In addition, the monthly bandwidth is 100GB. This accounts for all the files you share and receive. If you upload and share a 2GB video file with ten people, this would take up 12GB’s of your bandwidth quota – 2GB for the upload and 10GB for each download. With a bandwidth set so low, it won’t take long to meet your quota if you share files often.

The program is nearly impossible to get rid of. There is an uninstall program available online, but all elements aren’t removed. Some users have found that the program loaded extra toolbars and other worms onto their systems that were impossible to delete.
