Park your large files online with Driveway
Did somebody mention an explosion of services for sending and receiving files too large to be email attachments? It looks like newcomer Driveway has its sights set on services like YouSendIt and MailBigFile.All three services work pretty much the same way. You upload a large file to a server and an email is sent to your recipient letting them know that the file is ready to download. But while YouSendIt and MailBigFile only let you upload files up to 100MB in size for free, Driveway's file size limit is 500MB.
Right now, Driveway is entirely free. In the future, the site will incorporate advertising and a premium service, probably for users who want to send even larger files and/or store them on the server for longer than the default 90 days.

This can be useful in some situations, but it's still a bit of a hassle uploading files. GigaTribe let's you host them on your computer and let your friends download them directly from you, no matter how large, and it's free too. Why spend an hour doing something that only takes a few clicks?!
