Why not use sfan5's uploading service, he is very generous for hosting it.

I wouldn't agree with "preferably mediafire", because that site uses a lot of gratuitous Javascript code for both uploading and downloading that is presumably proprietary. But anyway, there are tons of file hosting sites; the one kind of place to definitely keep out of is those sites that have wait times before you can download. An example I know of that I can pretty much recommend (it doesn't require any gratuitous Javascript) is Data File Host.[1]

My favorite upload site is Ubuntu One. It has a good amount of free storage and offers direct links.

You will need to have it in a mod directory with an init.lua and depends.txt and zip the directory and it's contents into a zip file. That's what most people do.
