Unlimited file sizes/types can be transferred using http://www.singlewrench.com. The tool is primarily for corporate file sharing as opposed to consumer sharing.
SteamFile is another really cool one. You upload the file to streamfile (up to 2GB I think), they send a link and the recipient downloads it from streamfile. Not the fastest service, but set it and forget it!
Your information about Dropsend is incorrect. Free users can STORE up to 250 MB, but they can send up to 1 GB, though they are, as you said, limited to 5 sends a month.

filedropper.com is also pretty good, and very simple to use.

Don’t forget about TransferBigFiles.com. I’ve used them on multiple occasions and have had good luck with them. You get up to 1 GB in file size, and it’s a free service.
You forgot adrive.com. Adrive.com gives you 50gb of storage for free and you can upload files up to 1gb in size. Also you can share the files, so you can just send the link to a friend. I use to use Yousendit and box.net, but they kept changing their size limit.
I forgot to mention that adrive.com is free.
I always use MediaFire.com, for me is the best one.
I use http://www.sendbigshit.com to send files in excess of 6GB. Works well, just takes about 6-7 months to upload it on my 56kbps dailup connection. Would have been quicker to write it to CD and tie it to the back of a retarded snail and give him directions. My own fault actually, could just have taken the CD next door in the first place.
# No software to install. All you need is a web browser.
# Send files of any size!
# Your buddy could start downloading file as you upload it.

thats nice
when it comes to sending large size attachment ,then pipebye service is good with meebo where we can add our all friends from various network.
Why isn’t Rapidshare.com on here? They are the biggest and best!
Also, there’s cl1p.net for smaller files. Generates a URL that you decide, it’s up for a week, and has a built in notepad to leave little notes.
It’s pretty cool.

As file sizes keep getting bigger, we will all need tools like these to transfer them.
Just use Skype. Unlimited size and you can talk at the same time.
Admittedly it’s about 6 months since I tried any of these, but I found at the time that they were all pretty much unusable for large files simply because they were way to slow.
Great list for me ! Thanks you very much
Thanks !! Sending huge file is problem as not all people have premium RS account and I am just RS fan. Will try these now.
[...] generous 20MB attachment limit is sometimes not big enough. Life Hack Magazine analyzes seven ways to send huge files. All are free; some have paid premium services that eliminate ads or increase upload [...]
Without a doubt, Mediafire is probably the best one of all.

I have been a MU fan for quite a while.
I would just recommend using Hamachi (http://hamachi.cc), that creates a verifiably-secure P2P/LAN connection with anyone else in the world.
FileSavr.com is a great alternative also, which allows you to upload up to 10GB in file size with no registration required. Similarly, FileDropper.com is allows 5GB.
Sweet list bro I might check some of these out! I’m not too sure a business would want to use this service. I mean if your business server can’t send a 20mb e-mail it’s time to look at a new server. 500mb I would use seeing ti’s easier to use their resources than mine.
500 mb e-mail is retarded haha!
I just had this problem the other day, thanks for the list.
http://www.youconvertit.com allows 1 GB files.
