Ever wanted to email a big file to a friend but decided not to because it would take forever for your friend to actually download the attached file? Or perhaps you wanted to attach a file that is a database or a program and decided not to because it might get filtered by your friend's email program? Well, I just learned of a cool solution to these problems. The service is called SendThisFile.com, and you can find it at http://www.sendthisfile.com.

To use this free service, you first have to register with them. Then, it's as easy as entering the recipient's email address, selecting the desired file to send, and clicking the SendThisFile button! The recipient receives an email containing a link to the selected file. All they have to do is click on the link to get to a webpage where they click on the Download This File link. That's all there is to it!

But are there limitations about file size, or even the number of files you can send at once? The answer is no! So enjoy using this terrific service!
