RAR Host: Free hosting just for RAR files

The control panel lists files you've uploaded. The disk icon is the download link you can give to your friends.
The download page lists the files inside the archive as well as password info so you know what you're getting.

I don't know anyone how knows what a RAR file is, that hasn't learned it through piracy. Nice target-market. I'm sure that wont lead to any problems.
