If some one emails you and they are really reduced to tears at failing to get your program I suggest that you can consider using

http://goldbinary.com/

You enter their email, upload your file and they get emailed a link to your file.

Hope that helps.

Alternatively you could just offer them a big handkerchief.

the site has been reliable for the last two years for me (i.e. was online when i tried to access),

and i cannot remember any complaints (except here public in this thread).

And what i actually already did, was to send someone files via a file upload service,

but that was when one person requested special java 1.5 versions.

maybe try second link directly:

I just tried this second link of yours with great success. I have just downloaded the newest versions of everything :-) Thank you.

I still the intrusion of the rollover window but it was easily dismissed and the underlying site was obviously there. If you post the second link I think that there will be fewer connection problems for people.

funpic.de now has a VERY aggressive popup window. I don't even recommend that anyone visit that domain or allow skripts to run there. I hope this software is available on a more reputable site.

On another note, now that I have benzene and HexGui installed on my Debian Linux machine, I would like to be able to link to the Six engine with the HexGui. I know about the site http://six.retes.hu/ but I don't want to use that GUI, just the engine. How can I do this? Thanks!

> funpic.de, popup window

i know it has a popup window, but personally i'm so fast at clicking away the advertising i don't even notice, and also the site has been stable (more or less) for the last 3+ years, so i'm happy i did not have to search a different hoster ..

> now that I have benzene and HexGui installed

From your other thread (some time ago) i learned that benzene engine was released, together with a different "HexGui". Apparently they created a "HexGui" independently (i got a message half a year ago ..), and used it only internally for some time. Because both are based on GoGui source code (which is publicly available) they are a bit similar (i reordered some menus for example, added attaching of two engines, -auto option).

So, after i found your thread, i downloaded, and tried to compile benzene (on windows), but i didn't succeed on my first try (had a some problem compiling fuego libray first). I didn't look at the "other" HexGui, yet.

Obviously one task would be to test if the gtp-protocols of both hex-guis are even compatible. (for sgf there

exists a standard (http://red-bean.com/sgf/), it should not be such a problem).

The link Hypercube provided does not seem to work any more.
