I'm basically fine with people hosting anywhere that allows you to at least download a file without requiring one to use Chrome, or an external application that has to be designed specifically for said file host (which basically rules out MEGA and Box in that case, then). It's more for the sakes of this community targeting configurations that are considered 'long obsolete and unsupported' by many websites so for accessibility reasons, it seems rather ironic to support using file hosts that explicitly break on anything even slightly 'old'.

Dropbox, Google Drive, MediaFire and Yandex.Disk are all okay in this scenario - at least all of those you can simply 'wget [url]' somewhat easily if you desire.

Naturally, my favourite recommendation is set up your own FTP/HTTP server, turn directory indexing off in Apache and host from a server you rent online or even your own device but that isn't always possible.

Try spoofing your browser as IE7 for Yandex and/or turning off JavaScript - it should redirect you to a much nicer looking page. :3

My useragent override is set for both '*.yandex.com' and 'yadi.sk' and the actual UA is 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)'.

I once tried to do my own file server with a free web host but almost all of them require the end user to have javascript. The only option is the set one up inhouse.

That's because almost every free web host is essentially a ByetHost clone (e.g. InfinityFree/ProFreeHost for example, though they're more cleverly disguised than most of them). See: myownfreehost.net

If it's not a ByetHost clone, it's more likely than not gonna be an AwardSpace clone, since they also do free reseller hosting. See: resellercluster.com

This board actually uses iFastNet, ByetHost's paid services, since it works reasonably well and doesn't cost too much for a shared web host with 'true' cPanel included.

I found freeware hosting myapl.eu3.biz - its fine, but files larger than 10mb not allowed.
