Very cool idea - you might want to make it a bit clearer that the sender has to keep the window open (initially I assumed it simply wasn't loading because of technical issues).

Also a loading gif or something. The pages makes it look like nothing is happening. There is no progress indicator.
there are progress updates, but only after the file begins transferring. also, we can't show you progress in IE, so we just show an animated spinning gif (only in IE)... what browser are you using, and at which step in the process do you feel that we're lacking progress updates?
I was using chrome and nothing was moving or updating so I just left (got a warning that something was happening though)
thanks for the suggestion! we'll put up some kind of notification to remind you to keep your browser window open
