How to download with Pando?
Just run the Pando File you have received from your friend or others.
The download will start.
How long are files available on the Pando server?
Quote from Pando Support Team:
When you first upload the files, the files are available on the Pando Network for a period of 14 days. If you, or someone to whom you have sent the files then forward the files, the files are available on the Pando Network from the new forward date for another period of 14 days. The files are also available to be served from anyone online who has downloaded the .pando package who has the files on their computer.
However, if over 14 days have passed from the first time you have sent someone the Pando package and the time they choose to download the package, the files in the package will have expired from the Pando Network. They will not be able to download the files until the files have been uploaded again.
Pando stores files that are sent on its servers for 14 days in order to make sure that they are available to recipients. When you download the file, it comes from Pando's servers, and also from other downloaders, so downloads are fast.
If a file was sent more than 14 days ago, then it is no longer stored on Pando's servers, and we behave much like other p2p networks. That is, the file may still be available from the sender or any downloaders if they are online, and you can download it from them as fast as their upload speeds.
For this reason, we encourage people to leave Pando running in order to help other downloaders. If the file is on Pando's servers, your computers make the downloads even faster, and if the file is no longer on Pando's servers, then your computers keep the downloads available that would otherwise be expired.
How to forward a pando link??
After you start downloading the first bit of the file, right click on the file and select forward.
This will only take a couple of seconds of your time, because you don't forward the full game, but only the pando link, which is ~15 kb.
You must enter the E-mail address to whom you wish to send the Pando Link.
The new Pando link will be valid for another 14 days!

As this program is still Beta, there could be some delays in transfers due to connection errors.
