Looking for free upload web-space


I have some videos I want to share with my friends, they are about 30MB in size. Can I upload them some place so that I can give a download link to my friends?

There are websites that allow uploading pictures (such as img.photobucket etc). Any place where I can upload zip files, or other formats?

I have a geocities page, but it hardly gives 15 MB. Can someone help?

Couldnt you set up an ftp server and give them access to it? It would save the upload/download scenario at both ends.

set up an always-on apache server in your house, then steal a domain name and configure iptables to allow all traffic through port 80.

I've got 3 servers doing different things and my ISP hasn't complained.. looking at my netblock, lots of other domains.. I think most will only start to complain when if and when someone has massive amounts of traffic that starts to affect others..

Hi, thanks for all the replies. I can't set up an FTP server or a web server, because my ISP has closed the ports. Also, I dont have a static IP.

I like the g-mail account idea. And I'll also check out the sites some of you have mentioned.

Thanks once again everyone. More suggestions are welcome

-Aku
