I'm using about 1/7th of my total space. I send a lot of large files, mainly hi-res images and some attached hi-res videos.

This is what i do. create disposable email accounts and upload stuff usign the GDrive. Then upload files in 15MB rar files and just give out the Username and Password.

Easier than Torrent and Even easier to setup and get away with. Espically when there are hundreds of IP's that connect to it.:laughing:

Just kidding. But i do upload some files to it. Nice online storage.

hehe I remember when people were trading gmail invites for all kinds of things on forums and even ebay.

I remember a funny one....."I will call any person you want and make an animal of your choosing noise into the phone and then hang up....for 1 gmail invite"
