quick question: Need to send something that's 43mbs
I have a PDF file that I need to send to somebody, but it's too big to send over hotmail and I don't have the option of uploading it to a usb and giving it to him.

Where/how can I upload this without ANY quality decrease (and for free)?

Thanks.

Personally I prefer mediafire for uploading files, mainly because it's the only file hosting service that lets free users have parallel downloads.

Both work fine.
Megaupload will work decent for her as she only has 1 PDF file to download.

For a PDF I doubt it will really matter about the speed. But in general, yes- mediafire is decent.

This is taking forever to upload via mediafire... >_> sucks even more when it stops halfway through for no reason.

Upload to Google docs, then you have a bunch of options on how to share it with them (let them download, host it online where they can view, etc).

However, you need gmail. And something tells me you would have just used gmail's larger attachment sizes if you had that

One of my groupmates forced us to use google docs.... I've never seen a bigger piece of shit. >_> Kept screwing around with the formatting and whatnot.

(formatting is key in commerce, for some reason)

Buttt, it's done, uploaded. Took a long time but oh well! xD

Mediafire and 4shared are perhaps the best free file hosting services.

MU/RS/HF all are good when you're a premium user. Not everyone wants to spend money on file sharing. <_< (I thought the motive was the make everything available FOR FREE <_< )
