Large File Transfer Help

Does anyone know of any reliable (pop up free, etc.) safe online services that allow people to transfer files to email addresses via sending links to uploaded files?

I have large files that exceed the limit of all of the web-based e-mail programs for sending or receiving. I used box.net for a while (thanks to Adrian) but they have a maximum of 10MB per file unless I want to upgrade to paid services. Multiply only allows 20MB file attachments to a blog so that is no good. My fileden account was, for some mysterious reason, deleted. They are a pretty scary site anyway as any mis-click and you can end up sending your data off to spammers every time you log in. Sending the attachment via email to someone's post box also fails, because limitations are set on the receiving end.

Mayu uses a good system that allows up to 100MB of transfer per file. It sends an automated email to the recipient with a link for download after a file is uploaded to a server on that site. That file is kept for a time-limit, and if the recipient does not receive the file, it is deleted from the servers. This is the ideal system I wish to use, but unfortunately it is Japanese and does not send English messages to users.

Has anyone been reliably using any system like this on the internet that allows for such a file-transfer via a link that is added to a standard email and sent to a recipient?

If you have anything that you use, that is reliable, trustworth and not riddled with junk, pop ups, etc. etc. please do let me know.

I love you!
