How do I send someone a file without email?

I'm sorry I don't know enough about Bittorrent to know whether you can have your own computer as the tracker. So I can't comment on the idea.

Using Apache is seriously simple - you don't need to touch any configuration files, just install Apache and it will immediately start serving any files inside /var/www. Put some files in that directory and they will appear to anyone who types your IP address into their web browser. You do need to forward a port (port 80) on your router, but then you'd need to do that anyway if you were running a Bittorrent tracker. Unless you have a direct internet connection, in which case no forwarding necessary.

You can find out your IP address from www.whatismyip.com.

Just use AIM. You drag the file you want to send into the text box where you would type and hit enter. Me and my roomate use it all the time to share things like movies and tv shows, so it would definately work with the small file your talking about.

Yeah, I must admit apache looks quite good.

I can actually do port forwarding already. I'm not too bad with iptables, and i can find out my ip address with ifconfig.

Well, that's certainly some useful suggestions from everyone. I'll come back when I've tried them out a little bit.

Thank you all very much!
