dukevim, you have to download the friends of your friends individually.

This is a great app and service combo, and Beta 4 is far less buggy than Beta 3. Despite the few bugs, I've found this app indispensable.

There are also Pando and PodMailer.
I've been using Pando for some months and I must say it works very well. (Although I've read reports of a few problems with the latest versions of the application.) With Pando it's possible to send files up to 1 gigabyte for free.
I did not try PodMailer yet, but I suppose its principle is the same as Pando.

It's Great! Just wish it showed a window warning about the file dowload URL (this information goes automatically to the clipboard... but I can forget about that... :-()
Otherwise, it works great and it's really fast and pratical to send files this way. Thanks!

p.s.
Pando does not work with Linux, and you have to register.

Yes, that's true... Pando does not work with Linux.
But I think you won't have to register to use it. At least I don't remember to have registered in Pando's website. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
When you send a package through Pando for the first time, the application asks only for a valid e-mail address, so that you may receive a confirmation that the package has been sent. (Which is useful for you to track what you have sent.)

I really like it. It's quite simple and straightforward. By far one of the best upload utilities for OSX. Now i just can't live without it!

Nice app. By the way, max file size is 100mb, I didn't see that mentioned here or even in the FAQ on the dev's site.

Podmailing seems more interesting: there's no size limit, and the download can start immediatly.

Also the recipient can download the file via:
- a standard bittorrent client (immediate start),
- the podmailing app (immediate start),
- a web browser (available when upload is finished. size limit?).

Papaya also looks like an interesting choice: the file transfer is done via a web server on the computer, so downloading can start immediatly.
(Requires Leopard.)

This is definitely not Apple's Photo Booth. Change the icon please. And the name by the way. PhotoBooth has been renamed to Downsize or something like that.

I notice the least slowdown when using Applejack. It fixed the small amount of damage OnyX did.

After using OnyX, I had an immediate speedup, followed by a steady decline in system performance.

In contrast, after using Applejack, my system slowed for a short amount of time, but stayed snappy longer.

I recommend Applejack over this app.

A nice free utility combining the power of tweaking your system's hidden settings and running maintance scripts and other speed-improving things. A must-have application in my opinion.

Being free makes it even better.

Completely ditched MacJanitor after the first OnyX use. This app rocks and the amount of good it has done to keep my MacBook tip-top is amazing.

I love onyx... but when i went to WWDC and got the new leopard beta it didnt work.... sooooo i made a little widget that does a fair amount of the maintenance that onyx does.. it is called MaintenanceWidget and can be found on apple downloads, here, or on bradflaugher.com. I just thought that other people might have the same problem. enjoy.

Has anyone experience problems with the beta on Leopard?

Version 1.8.4 is for Tiger only.
Nightly builds of version 1.9.0, for Leopard, are already available from the developer's website, at this address:
http://www.titanium.free.fr/pre190/
Please notice that these Leopard versions are currently only localized in French. (English coming soon.)

I don't know what beta version Cayayofm is talking about, but yesterday I noticed a strange behaviour of OnyX 1.9.0 (lhe latest nightly build).
I launched OnyX and just took a look at the features. I did not run any routine, so I suppose it did not perform any action. (And I did not click any button by mistake.) Then I quit OnyX.
When I activated the Dashboard, all widgets were starting again, just like they do the first time you launch the Dashboard after a boot. (I don't remeber this beahviour when I had Tiger installed.)
I have already emailed the developer about this and I'm waiting for a reply.
Just one more note: The installation of this new version for Leopard is now done by drag & drop. No more installer to run.

Addenda to my previous post:
The installer has returned in the latest nightly build of OnyX 1.9.0 for Leopard, released just today. (No more drag & drop to install.)

The best system maintenance/optimization/customization app I have ever used. Hands down. + It's free, unlike other apps like it. I have never tried Applejack though, but I don't really need that kind of power.
