Syncthing. It's not a hosting platform, more like a bit torrent transfer except that you don't need to make a torrent file and run a tracker. It has the same benefits in that as peers receive blocks, they will pass them along to other peers, saving you bandwidth. Share a link to a folder on your computer, and any files placed in that folder will be pushed out to all the others automatically. You can set the permissions on the folder in your instance so that if others delete a file, it will stay in your folder. The links can be emailed but you should verify the ID of the connecting peers over a non-modifiable channel if you want confidentiality. Or better yet, share the link over a secure channel.
Syncthing is most useful if you need to keep these files updated. If they are static, a regular torrent is better, particularly with so many other peers. I don't know how well Syncthing handles that many peers. Bit Torrent is literally made to solve this exact problem. I use Transmission and it is quite easy to create a basic torrent file with it. It also has the advantage of DHT which means you don't need a 3rd party or public tracker (as long as you an open a port to it on your router).
