Free File Hosting and Storage
StreamLoad
This free file host provides 10 GB of storage space for your files. The files are subject to a 10 MB limit each. You may only download 100 files or 100 MB per month, whichever comes first. You cannot host files or send email links, and may send up to 100 files per message. Their paid account provides unlimited storage without most of the limits imposed for the free accounts although there is a download limit (data transfer) depending on which plan you choose.

This file storage host gives you up to 35 MB of space with an additional 1 MB of space for each person who downloads your file. Unfortunately, your users have to use Internet Explorer and install an ActiveX control from their site before they can download anything.
up.li.ru
This is a free image host that allows you to upload your images, which, I think, you can hotlink from your website. The site does not seem to specify how large your files can be or how long they can be kept, but a user informs me that the files are limited to 32 MB and they are deleted after 3 days for a normal file or after 2 months if the file has a JPG or PNG extension.
RapidShare
The maximum file size for this file sharing host is 100 MB. However, there is a download limit, set at 30 MB per hour. This means that your friends can only download up to 30 MB in any given hour. This limit is set according to the IP address of the downloader. Your file is also deleted if it is not downloaded within 30 days.
FileFront
This free file host provides you with unlimited file uploads and downloads, unlimited bandwidth and unlimited space. Although I could not find the information on their site, there is a file size limit of 1 GB, and your file cannot take more than 10 hours to upload. You can give the public access to any of your files.

youSENDIT

Instead of sending the file by attachment and clogging up their mail box, you can use this host's interface to upload your file and send a message to your friend with the link to the file. As I understand it, there is a 1 GB limit to the file size, and your files are deleted after 7 days.
