 now) is to use Google Drive; we will upload the packages there (Google
 Drive API) and then distribute the URLs in the email. The maximum file we
 can upload is 10 GB, so it's perfect for us.

 has to use the URLs, I recommend other online file sharing tools, such as

 Runa thinks I should put my suggetion here, so here it is:

   BitTorrent Sync is one of p2p tools used by Chinese users to distribute
 censored videos/books. The download speed is much faster than magnet link,
 and it's easy to use. Download the software (the Windows version is only
 630kb) and input the secret key (a character string generated by BTsync
 when sharing files), now you can download the files.

 Please note BT Sync is still a alpha software, there will be security
 issues.
