I need to test a program that automatically downloads a stack once per day. All the free webhosts that I have found block files with non-standard extensions - some block you from uploading them, and others block you from accessing them after they have been uploaded. Can anyone suggest a free web h

I guess huge is relative to the speed of one's system and network. The stack I am dealing with is only 4.74mb - yet, it still takes a couple minutes to save across the network. That's no big deal - but a year from now the same stack will be 20meg, and will take 8 minutes to save. I am planning on
