Paul, Just a thought here...as you're right, having some modicum of consideration for those who have cost issues with bandwidth (I'll content that we are not spoiled, and that we...ok...most of us...pay for the bandwidth we use...TANSTAFL). However, you are assuming that anyone who wishes to potentially send a file along here can just as easily host one. Not, I think, a valid assumption...and one which, for many...would cost money. So, who gets to pay? Either someone is paying to download, if they are on a pay-as-you go model, or someone is going to pay to host...either way, it's not quite as simple as you've made it out to be.
You make an interesting point, and it has some validity.What immediately came to my mind when I read that was the spammers. They expect to shift the cost of what they do to the recipients. Is that what should be the standard for security researchers as well?
