s4ve.as offers simple 24-hour file hosting
There are plenty of places that will host your files for free. Many of them, however, have bandwidth limits or size restrictions, or are just too darn complicated to bother with. s4ve.as offers the basics I want from a free host and is dead simple to use.
As Jay mentioned to me, it's kind of like a beefed-up Senduit. While Senduit offers customizable time-before-self-destruct, it's got a 100Mb limit. That's just not enough in a lot of cases. s4ve.as does away with size limitations, so you're free to upload whatever the heck you want.
Simplicity is key here - browser for any file, and click upload. When the transfer is complete, integrated bit.ly support gives you an automatic short url to paste into sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Just make sure you tell your pals to grab it within 24 hours. After that, it's gone, daddy, gone.
Thanks for the tip, Scott!

Does the time it take to upload and download the file count as part of the 24 hours? If so then its not truly anysize file, its any size - upload \ download time threshold - 24hrs is...

I just did a test file of about 25mb that took about 5 min to upload and it looks like it makes the expiration 24 hours from the time that the upload finished.

Nanomatrix,
Actually, we don't include the upload time in the 24 hours. The clock doesn't start until we have your complete file --enjoy!

Awesome good to know! Those that are concerned about security can even encrypt a file in zip or whatever and then share it, cool tool!

One of the best simple file sharing I've come across, Thanks.
