Use LimeWire to transfer data files to a selected user

Actually, there's a HUGE advantage to using this or the bittorrent method over the other solutions (FTP, Apache, Middleware sites) proposed:

Integrity Checking

Bittorrent and Limewire both check the files to make sure they're not corrupt, and will re-download 'damaged' portions until the checksums match.

This simply does not happen when downloading via HTTP or FTP. And if you're moving something of decent size, like say a 5GB system disk image for backup, this makes a big difference.
