The two we use are sourceforge and ibiblio. The latter only allows around 2GB, I think. I know I've reached the quota there and had to delete stuff before I could add more. That's why I switched over to mainly using sourceforge. Well, that and the downloads are faster at sourceforge. And I can see what's been downloaded and how many times.

Shell access is easier at ibiblio, but for uploading big files, I've had the uploads fail in the middle. The workaround was to set up a webserver at home, ssh into ibiblio and wget the file. At sourceforge, you can upload files through a web browser, and I haven't had any iso uploads fail. Shell access works, too, and I sometimes use it, but there are a couple extra commands to get in that I always have to look up.

i assume sourceforge and ibiblio are free from the get-go unless i want more features which i would hand money over for?

We just do the free stuff here. I don't even know too much about that, because I'm not the one who set up the accounts - I inherited the project from meandean.
