Where to host some files?

Posted on 08/25/2006 6:55:31 AM PDT by ELCore

I was at the first anniversary memorial for Flight 93 in Shanksville, PA, September 11, 2002. I took more than 100 photos, because I figured it would never look the same again.

I have made wallpapers and a (Windows) screen saver out of 20 or so of them. And I would like to get them spread around in time for the fifth anniversary.

I have 40 wallpapers altogether, amounting to 6.88 MB total size. Individually, they average around 175 KB. And the screen saver install executable is 7.88 MB.

I am lone blogger, and I simply cannot financially afford a big hit to my bandwidth. Is there some place I can host the files effectively that wouldn't cost me anything?

Would imageshack (for the wallpapers) and/or supload (for the screen saver) be a good way?

I blogged some of my photos a long time ago; they are here, if you'd like to get an idea of what I'm doing: Remember September 11. But I have rescanned the photos and photoshopped the images more aesthetically this time around.

I Like Ryze. It is a business networking site that gives you a free home page which seems to have limitless capacity. I posted a 20pp story on mine once. Also, with some effort, you can promote it there to hundreds of thousands.

Do a Google search for 'free web hosting' and compare the various choices. Simple.

For better or worse, I have put them up at flickr.

ELCore's photos

Feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks. Now I need to figure out where to host the screen saver. I have an EXE and a ZIP and an RAR.
