Bringing my nightly bit of "good" news...  
Over in this post in LiveJournal's Vidding community:

I've been having trouble with Sendspace causing my CPU to rev up to 100% while the ads on its download page are loading. Several times, it's hung or outright crashed my Firefox, so I'm definitely taking this warning seriously myself! Since I just went through a Trojan.Vundo infection that caused me to have to reinstall my operating system, believe you me I do NOT want to chance having to go through that headache all over again if I can possibly avoid it!
So for myself, I'm going to avoid going to Sendspace in the near future until I hear that this has been FIXED!
Stay safe out there, people. |

well, that's zshare and sendspace that I now won't use :S  thanks for the info Ais! Mediafire is still the best I've come across so far  I'd def. recommend it and signing up for a free account; it keeps all your files in there for you to organize as you wish

| I saw that too, Ais. This totally sucks because zshare isn't very good and whenever I use mediafire I get "bad request" O_O |
