Dropbox Skydrive?

What's a good and cheap way to transfer someone a 2gb file quickly from US to China? Looks like Skydrive and dropbox have file limit size of 300MB?

private torrent using yourself as a tracker. or making an ftp server on your system and giving them an account. two easiest ways I can think of.

dropbox doesnt have a limit. ive transfered 1.8gb zip files over dropbox no problem.

I'd use an ftp server.

dropbox has a limit of 2gb unless you subscribe to a pro box which cost real money.

Dropbox only has a 300 mb limit if you upload through the website.

Setup your box as an FTP server. Check out FileZilla.
