As the title suggests.....i'm looking for some advice on a free file-hosting site that is reliable and allows uploads of at least 1 gig files.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Re: Recommended Free, Large file Host
For that, you'll need to use Google Docs, you can upload files up to 1GB each there, and make them available to whoever you like:

It's where submersible hosts the 8 Povray Planets OXPs, which weigh in at around 0.5 GB each..

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
Re: Recommended Free, Large file Host
Ok, thanks for the reply....i'm already using it but its limited to 5 gigs total (free) I may be able to get away with 5 gigs at a push but 10 would be better

There's Sky Drive too.
Edit: its Microsoft so you might not like them!
Not sure about the file upload limits. My free account has up to 25 gb of space.
Edit2: files can be up to 2gb in size.

Ah, yes there was a limited time offer a couple of months ago. I think that has now finished. 7gb is quite a lot for free though!Diziet Sma wrote:Hmmm.. they only gave me 7GB.. says if I want more I have to buy it..JazHaz wrote:
I don't use much of my 25gb so I could host files for you if you want?

Just seen an email promoting Norton Zone. It's a free service with 5 gb of space, and unlimited (well to the space limit) file size.

Re: Recommended Free, Large file Host
It's not just about file-size - is there a monthly bandwidth limit? That's the main problem if you host large files.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

No idea about bandwidth. On Sky Drive or Norton Zone there isn't much in the way of FAQs.
