[Closed] Paid for (or free) filesharing recommendations

Just looking for some recommendations...I have a load of PDF's that are shared to users of a forum, i.e a 250mb file that is downloaded approx 30 times a week, plus many other smaller files.

Currently they are on mediafire free filesharing, which means slow downloads, loads of ads and popups, and dormant files get deleted after a month or two.

I can upgrade to Mediafire bronze for £5.40 a month, just wondering if there are any other providers that are worthy of consideration?

Just taking a look at those suggestions, mediafire is £5.50, but what I thought was 100GB of storage is actually a 100GB download limit...I don't think thats enough.

I can't find anything about whether Dropbox has a download limit for popular files?

Depending on how big the userbase for the PDF's is you could give torrents a go?

Thanks for the invite Geoff.

I signed up this morning, then had a sudden guilt moment after checking my emails and realising I'd just signed up without using the invite. But Dropbox obviously checks email addresses as it picked it up and has awarded us some more space 🙂

A favour please...

In Internet Explorer the files download fine, in Chrome it just appears to sit on a blank page...

Does it work in Chrome for anyone else?!
