Geocities is lousy for hosting files. There are a few other sites I can think of off hand, such as

www.rapidshare.de

I believe you can host small files on 50megs.com and then create a page on the site with the download link, since it doesn't support direct linking. I hope this helps you.

Open note pad and save a file with an "html" extension. For example, mydownloadpage.html (no spaces allowed). Then, copy this in the page.

<a href="file">link</a>

Put the file name where it says file (it's case sensitive), save it, and then upload it to the site. That's all there is to it.

You have to do that no matter what host you have your files on.
