Might I suggest a File Sharing Programme like e-donkey.

Basically when you install it sets a folder within My Documents where you can put anything you wish to share – originally it’ll only be downloadable when your on-line but when person 2 downloads it can then be obtained by person 3 from you and person 1.
You’ll have to be careful how you name the file so it can be easily found by others.

OK – I know many stories about these programmes coming with spy / ad ware – personally I run Spybot and Ad Aware and didn’t see anything worrying post installation of e-donkey.

Just a suggestion – other ways I’m sure are possible.

You mention 390Mb total – assuming that there are fours files (one PPL, one CPL etc) you could signup for four of the 100Mb free sites advertised somewhere like http://www.freewebspace.net/ or [say] two of http://www.freewebtown.com/community/index.php

If the files are not Adobe it would be worth converting them firstly cause that’s what almost everyone in aviation uses now secondly cause a 10MB jpeg can become a less than 1Mb Adobe file.
I’ll happily convert them for you – and teach you FTP (using Ace FTP) to get them to me.

Thinking about it I’ve got a mate in Oz who has set up two sites for us and would probably be interested in setting up the download service you suggested – he’s in India on project right now but should be back next week – if you like PM with your e-mail and I’ll put you in touch.
