Large file hosting?

Cianos

Hi,
I have a large video file (200mb) that I would like to put up for others to download, but dont know how to do it. Whats the easiest (and free) way to do this?
thanks

There are a couple of free websites that do this, www.yousendit.com is probably the best known of them, it allows you to send a file of up to a gig to about 20 people I think, though it has a bandwith restriction that they dont advertise. But unless your sending a file that is a gig to all 20 people I doubt you'll exceed it.

www.megaupload.com is an alternative. They host files which are <250mbs

Taken from the 'Net, not my opinion or research:
(Personally: I've found megaupload to provide a decent up/down rate!)


Note that there is a finite amount of time that they will typically host the file (i.e. the recommendation above)

http://www.sendspace.com is quite good 1.2GB filesize limit.

No speed cap, or number of times file is downloaded, just the bandwidth total downloading uses up (100GB, i.e. a 100MB file can be downloaded 1020 times only).
