Free ftp host that allows zip-files?

Hey guys!

There are tons of free filehosts out there. My issue is:

Does anyone know a free hosting service that allows uploading zip-files?

As I had to find out most (e.g. Ah-net, Awardspace...) don't allow this. Disc space required: around 10 MB total, filesize around 10-20kb each.

Perhaps someone here can point me into the right direction.

Thanks
Grisu

dropbox? its not ftp but allows you to transfer and make public links to zip files.

mediafire, filefactory, 4shared

I forgot to mention that the host has to support direct downloading as well. :(

The reason is: my bmx program needs that to get update files automatically.

dropbox supports direct downloading just like a website. An http request from your app just gets the data. Just make the file public and publish the public link.
plus you get 2 gigs for free.

Thanks for the explanation D4. Helped a lot.

Took me about half an hour though to figure out that Dropbox doesn't support "HTTPFileSize", apart from that everything seems to work... :D
