Hi folks,
I just wanted to get people's opinions of what good, ie: fast, reliable etc.
file transfer systems you use.
I want to share some self-contained ableton sets with a friend, when zipped up they average 150-200 mbs.
I've looked into a few websites that offer this service, but they all seem kinda slow, or actually stall at 25% or so.
I don't expect something this size to upload in minutes or anything, but I'd like it to eventually (hour or so) go up and not die on me.
Anyway, what are some of you using?
Thanks in advance.
what do you use for good free file transfers?

Most people who send me tunes for mastering use yousendit.com, or zshare.com. Uploads are usually slower than downloads, even with my own FTP site it can take an hour to upload 300+MB.

yousendit
As I am regularly involved in internet collaborations, (usually at least 2 per month) I subscribe to their service, which allows up to 2 GB to be sent but you can send 100 mb for free. It is reliable (Ive seen it be down once in 18 months, and that was for 30 minutes) and fairly quick, they have good bandwidth on their servers.

humyo looks good on the surface. It does not have unlimited upload space though, looking at the small print but it's a pretty generous 25 GB of media content which can be stored.
Watch out for some sites that allow big capacity transfers for free, they are sometimes vehicles for spyware and malware, such as Megaupload whose toolbar is recognized as phoning home and tracking by dozens of reputable anti-spyware and anti virus programs.
Also, remember, yousendit and sendthisfile started off as free services with unlimited filesize transfers on first launch but gradually introduced subscriber privileges and pricing.

cool, thanks guys, I had good luck tonight with bigupload.com
it also provides a free limited storage time, that can be accessed multiple times.
Yeah, the free version of yousendit is limited to 100mb upload and that's a little too small for what i need, and although it used to be a lot more easy to use, it now constantly reminds me to upgrade etc.

if you are on PC and need to set up a Virtual Private Network without trouble I recommend Hamachi.
I literally took me and a friend 5 minutes to set up a VPN and I am behind both a software and a hardware firewall.
There's a free version with limitations which most likely will not be limitations to anyone much. IE : a limit of 16 users on a VPN at one time.

mac here, but thanks, I'll look into that.
on macs, we can set up a bluetooth file transfer easily via included osx software, but of course they have to be within 30 feet or so for the bluetooth to work.
I know this isn't quite what you were referring to.
Basically, I'll just have to be more patient with uploads from file upload services, I'd just been having trouble with some of the more popular sites dying on a longer upload.
These couple of services mentioned above seem pretty good though,
thanks, folks.
