You Send It

My personal favorite and something I use frequently.  It’s a simple idea but extremely useful.  Take any large file you need to send; upload it to yousendit, and there you have it.  They contact the recipient for you, and then they can download the file at their convenience.  This is great for people with slow connections or just don’t have the time to wait for a transfer.
