UK/Prague-based AllPeers is a Firefox extension that will allow for group P2P file sharing using the browser. A persistent buddy list in a sidebar is created. Files can be shared with those buddies by dragging a file, folder or URL into their name. It’s just as easy to share the file with multiple people. The core technology is based on bittorent.
We’ve followed Allpeers through the initial rumors, first public screenshots and their March venture funding by Mangrove Capital and Index Ventures.
They’ve kept quiet recently, saying they’ve been making small changes to their interface and big changes to their infrastructure to handle scaling issues at launch. I’ve been testing the product with co-founder Matthew Gertner - this is going to be a very popular application. Very large (video) files transfered in my tests without difficulty, including after repeatedly shutting down the browser mid-transfer. Like other bittorent clients, the transfer picked back up again after relaunch.
The company won’t say when they are launching, but they’ve been bleeding in beta users for a few weeks and the date is clearly not that far away. They’ve also said they’ll allow me to give 50 300 immediate access accounts away immediately - these are first come, first serve in the comments. Just give me the email address you want to use, in the comment.
A potential competitor in this space is Zapr, which we recently covered. Zapr is handling file sharing via a stand alone client. AllPeers says they’ll have a non-browser client as well, later this year.

Looks like quite a few people couldn’t follow instructions. I’m hoping there were at least 40 of those.
fletch@pobox.com
Can’t believe it. The ONE day I miss reading my TC, you open the gates on something. Darn you Michael. LOL
Seriously, thanks for such good tech coverage. My friends laugh when I say: “I read TC before I read the New York Times”. Yet, its true.
Would love to be included in the AllPeers. Tell then to give up an extra 50 spots, since its so close!!!
In Service of THE ONENESS,
Rafiki “The Digital Doctor” Cai
Too late?! If AllPeers ever decide to give away other invites… I hope I’ll get one.
Thank you,
Gianluca
If there are any left…..
rowden . dan @ gmail . com
Much appreciated. Thanks!
I have been using it for a while, works pretty well so far, but loads more to come! It kicks Zapr’s ass as it uses encryption, and doesnt send your info public. I hope they can tidy up their usage policy soon, it seems a bit sketchy to me.
Personal Darknet anyone?
Well, maybe they could give Techcrunch another 300 invites, right?
