+          Transfer.coffee is a simple way to share files between devices. Just
+          select a file and share the generated URL with the recipient. The
+          recipient can then download the file by entering the mnemonic.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          The files are shared using WebTorrent, a peer-to-peer file sharing
+          protocol. This means that the file is not stored on a central server
+          and is instead shared directly between the sender and the recipient.

+          All files are transferred using WebTorrent. This means that the file
+          is not stored on a central server and is instead shared directly
+          between the sender and the recipient. Note that this means that the IP
+          addresses of the sender and recipient may be exposed to each other.
+          Files are only available for download as long as someone is seeding
+          them, i.e. as long as someone with a full copy of the file keeps the
+          page open.
