[Solved] Linking to a file download

Post by Dave »

Hi,

I must have taken my stupid pill this morning. I don't have a website suitable for loading files for download for access here. How do you link to a file for download? Is there a repository for this forum, or do we have to obtain a website or file hosting service rather than a personal website?

Thanks.

David.

There is a size limit on attachments, though... I think it's 128 Mb. For larger files, you could use a free file-sharing site such as Mediafire (http://www.mediafire.com/) which is my personal favorite. Most such sites are easy to use, and will give you a link that you can just copy and paste into your post.
Cheers!
