People have come to realize that email is far from ideal to share files with others especially when there are much more practical ways of doing so such as IM clients, dedicated folder sharing apps and now AllPeers. I have not yet tried AllPeers but it seems a nice implementation of private folder sharing built on top of the Firefox browser. Nevertheless I still think that IM clients might be the ideal platform for private file sharing (of which Windows Live messenger is a good example).
About Punchy's warning above, which I assume is refering to a comment made on the AllPeer's page at the Firefox Addons site expressing concerns about the lack of control over the AllPeers traffic that passes through the user's "node", I find them unfunded as, from what I understand (again, I have not tried this extension yet), the file sharing network is private and therefore under the user's control. Apparently there still are some rough edges (like in all betas), for example it still does not support throttling upload and download speeds, but this should be smoothened in later releases and all in all this seems very promising.
For more information be sure to check the AllPeers site ( http://www.allpeers.com ) and also the Q&A with one of the developers at the Torrentfreak blog ( http://torrentfreak.com/allpeers-review-and-future-plans ).
