Recording high speed and/or long general purpose raw Osc data, the file can become very large.
I'm looking for a simple, fast and easy (and cheap) way to transfer large compressed data files of up to say a 100 MB between time-nuts.
I know there are all kinds places one can store large files that others can then have access to, so I do not want to use the "OLD" way of breaking it up into many small pieces.
I do not need to do this very often, so I do not want to sign up for any long term thing or maintain a Friends or face book type thing,
I'm just looking for an easy, temporary way (say lasting up to a week each) to transfer a few big files that are too large to email.
Suggestions anyone?

Thanks

Use a dropbox. Easy to use, and free. I just sent a 2.3 GB data file
to a friend. Took half a day to upload, of course.

very big meaning "megabytes".. 10s of MB? GB?

What about something like dropbox?

If the files are big enough, this is, of course, what bit-torrent was
invented for.

How about using bittorrent? There are multiple free trackers out there,
which can handle the coordination between the nodes, if you don't want
to run your own (e.g. [1]).

Alternatively, i could host the files as long as the traffic stays
below a couple 10GB/month.

You can always upload them to my site as if it was a manual (follow the manual upload instructions). If you let me know in a comment, I will leave the file in the upload area where anyone can retrieve it via ftp.

I have used uTorrent to distribute large data sets before using both
the trackerless protocol and the OpenBitTorrent tracker. All I had to
provide was either the torrent file or the magnet URL. The caveat of
course is that you need to leave your bittorrent client running to
seed the file or files and you will probably want to figure out your
port forwarding so you can accept incoming connections.

You would probably still want a simple web page though with the magnet
links or torrent files.

Dropbox is easy to use and for moderate size files, like your 100MB
files it works well. You can out grow it quickly if you try to
transfer video files or DVD images. This link will get you going:
http://db.tt/NNDLcer or Google will find DropBox for you.

Almost as easy is to run an FTP server on your home computer. Then
there is no data transferred until someone comes to get it and there
is no size limit. For moderate size files DropBox is easy but you do
have limited space there before they ask for money. A server running
at your house would not have such limits. And of course FTP servers
are free and can be very secure. FTP servers come with most OSes and
all to need to do is unable it with a few mouse clicks. (but maybe
not MS Windows?) in any case it's easy to find and install.

Time-nuts are welcome to use:

http://www.c-c-i.com/exchange/

to exchange files.

As the name says, the page is there to exchange files. The normal use would be
to upload your file, tell people about it, let them download it, then delete it.

Please note that the page is completely public. Anyone that knows about it (not
many folks, actually) can see your files, download them, and delete them.

Note the restriction on file types. Zip, gz, and tgz, among others, are supported.

I would ask that after you have made a file available for a reasonable time that
you go to the page and delete it. If you only want to make the file available to
one person, ask them to delete it after they download it.

If a file remains there more than a few weeks I may delete it.

Best regards,

I've used DropBox for a while now. Works well for me. You can get 2GB of

recommend who signs up.
