Free webhosting suggestions?

Anyone know of a free, good webhosting service with direct file hotlinking? Thanks.

angelfire, hostinganime, and tripod are good choices.

Host it yourself. Then you don't have a load of dumbass stuff you don't want with it.

How do you host a file yourself?

You Require:
* Not being a pussy
* A decent computer with a direct connection to internet, also it's best if it can be left on all time (so the website is up all the time)
* A decent security setup
* A decent connection- depends on how many visitors you expect/the use of site. For just your own images you want to link to, broadband would be fine. If it's a super ultra cool site with php all over the place, you'll need two T2 lines or something like that.

Now get the Apache HTTP server. (http://apache.com)

Install it.
Place your entire website, images and other stuff in apacheserverfolder/htdocs (remove all the stuff in there currently).

Get a dynamic DNS service (dyndns.org is good), although you don't need this if you have a static IP, everybody else will.

(or, if you happen to be running Slackware Linux 9.1, you can just type as root 'apacheconfig start' to start the apache server)

EDIT: Okay, that's a bit of an ass to understand. If you're really serious about it PM me and I'll go through it properly with you.
