Pando does everything it is supposed to. I went to the site. I d/l Pando for the Mac. It installed version 2.5.1.4 - no problems. It opened up and was self explanatory to use. I sent a 14.3 MB file - no problems.

Pando no longer supports The PPC, only Intel Based Macs. You can try finding an old version online but this is no longer supported.

This used to work really well, but now I just get the spinning beach ball of death at some point during upload and have to force quit (OS X 10.4.11). Even worse, the email sends before the file has uploaded, leaving multiple recipients with a useless pando file in their inbox (in my case twice, as I tried to resend after restarting the MacBook, only to experience the same problem).
The final nail in the coffin is that the latest Windows installer can't seem to access the Pando servers to install itself in certain IT firewall configurations, making it unnecessarily difficult for PC users to install it.
Actually, when I clicked the "Download Now" link at the top of the page it took me to another page asking if I wanted the free or pro version. When I clicked free it took me to yet another page where I was to choose my operating system. Not especially keen on being redirected several times, I closed that page, came back here, copied the link above, pasted it in the browser and the file downloaded. So if the "Download Now" link as the same as the one above, something is wrong somewhere.
All aces for me.
For the last several updates, I've had no problems.
I send MP3 files fairly regularly as part of a web cast I do and this is just what I need.
Have used Pando for a number of years. Has become increasingly unreliable and troublesome. Giving up on it, despite being a current Pro paying member. Have had many exchanges with Peter in support over the years, who does a fine job. Shame about the programme.
Am I the only one who keeps getting these errors? Or am I, more likely, the last one who even tries to install this utility? Again: "error: the BOM file for the package “Pando.pkg” does not seem to exist."
Works very well,
but it has a little bug (never corrected): every time I double-click a pando file, it shows a warning message "Please free some disk space and try again. Not enough free disk space", but it open the file anyway.
I have lot of GB free of course.
Tried to clear all pref files, but it shows again
