An image alone takes hours to load on imageshack. I wonder how long a .shp file would take...

Educated guess: loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.

SHP files are generaly >15kb. A reasonably sized, JPEG wallpaper is in the area of 180 :D. It'll load pretty damn fast.

But then again, it'd be far more efficient to embed a ZIP or 7z into it then extract. Far less work, that way.

Are they really that small? I never realized that.

I use mediafire. Fairly short download links, no ads if you're uploading (only when downloading, and I've never been redirected), easy sign up (which isn't even required) and an automatic virus scan. Just in case.
