Hi guys,
I know this is bit off bit post but I am trying every thing and asking everyone that I know.
I want to know if any of you people(guruz) out there knows about any way of storing some mp3s and some zip files(for js,css and CF files).
I know some sites that gives 150MB space but thats not good for my need. It must have the way so anybody can download stuff from that place. FTP or mIRC or any thing....
Any help will be handy so please feel free even if it is some thing small.

there are a lot of places you can get free web hosting. just upload the files, put some links to those files on a page and that should do it. when a file cant be displayed, the download dialogue will open. mp3's and zip's cant be displayed so download is assumed.

What you need to do is going to have to be done server side with some properties I am not sure about. There is a way to not allow files of certain types to be dopwnloaded from a site. I think it is done with hta but not positive. I know it can be done because many free servers block images and other things from being used on other sites.
I will try to look into it more in the future.

Randall and Eric,
Thanks man for your help. I should have made my self more clear on my original post.
Ok, i'll start like this. Me and few of my mates thats been working with coldfusion,gaming and networking (most of us works for the same company) wants to do some thing where they can help other people. Same as javaranch is.
We are making some 4 forms 1.mIRC 2.Gaming 3.CF 4.Bollywood (lol) yeah but some of me mates do wants this...so have to..
Basically we are just going to loging and going to help people find stuff they can't find on internet. Some thing like simpson map in CS (game) where you can have hommer as hostage.
Few friend of mine have mad some maps, alex is star at mIRC so he can get stuff that are very difficult to get. ColdFusion, we have our own files that we will let people use (some free some not*paypal lovers*) Finally bollywood, we have about 5000-6000 old rare songs of hindi movies. They are more then 10 years old so no copy right problem.
ahhhh, that was long due to my crap vocebulary(**that's the right spelling right?**)
so, I need BIG space some this like 500MB or 1000MB on one server.
If I get this free its kul, otherwise I'll have to pay. But we all ready have spent some good money on this so...free will be sexy
and don't worry about download thing. I wont mind anybody wants to download this stuff.
One again thanks Randall and Eric.
Have fun!

i think www.angelfire.com gives me 50megs for free. but i believe i can get more for a price. most of the free servers also have ad banners but a few dont. try a google search for "free hosting" or "web hosting" or whatever. i think you can do what you want with a http server. if not i guess you can find ftp hosting somewhere as well but i know very little about ftp. like i said if the files are not .html or .pdf or .txt or .gif etc. and you make a link to them the download dialogue should automatically pop up. i'm pretty sure this will work for .mp3 and .zip. try a free host first and make sure it will work for you. you can always pay for more space after you are sure http will serve your needs.

Cheers Randall,
Found this site that gives 500MB ftp space for just $5.99. Shorted!
