EatLime: Share your file instantly even while you still uploading it

For most of the free file sharing / hosting web services that I know of, I usually try it for the first time and never return to it again. The reason is simple, most services have serious limitations which I can't tolerate, e.g. file size limit (usually 10 MB per file), non-permanent storage (The file will be removed automatically when there is 'no demand', but how to measure demand? No download in 7 days? 1 month?), and the most annoying one is the awkward download page (The advertisements are too intense, and the download link is located at less obvious place). Oh yeah, some services even change the file extensions!!!

But, speaking of EatLime, I am not saying it is the file sharing service I am looking for, I blog about it because I found it rather interesting, it offers something which competing services do not have - EatLime allows your friends to begin downloading the file as soon as you start uploading it, i.e. I don't have to wait for the file to finish uploading before they begin downloading.

Another feature I like about EatLime is, I don't have to sign up an account in order to use the service. The file size limit is 100 MB per file, which is good enough for me. However, after registration, the file size limit is 1GB.
