FTP, copy a link to it and include the link in an email. Most browsers can directly download from FTP.

You can even include username/password in the link, however, I'd most likely just add the file into an anonymous readable folder on the server.

Of course some of the cloud storage servers also has anonymous downloads. As far as I remember Google Drive is one of them that don't, but this is my major reason for still sticking with DropBox and Box - at least the recipient isn't "forced" to subscribe. Though they are bombarded by an add page when they click that link ... nope FTP and nothing else is as easy for the recipient and yourself as the sender.

You could add a HTTP download if you've got access to a web site, but that's more work on your side and not at all easier for the recipient than a FTP link.

And then depending on bandwidth normal snail-mail may actually be faster. Probably not with 1GB, but when you're nipping at the 1TB mark I'd definitely look into sending a disc by post / courier.
