If you want an offsite backup solution there are much beter options than filling up your webspace
Ah, maybe I have a slightly different definition of file dump to you. I am just talking about somewhere to put samples and mixdowns for the occasional times when it is easier for whatever reason to do that than use a flash drive.

It'd be about 1gb p/m transfer maximum, and is currently less than 100mb and I just use it for putting mp3 test mixes for clients to listen to. A 5mb file downloaded a couple of times, multiplied by half a dozen such occasions where that's useful a month .... not huge traffic!!

I sorely wish I could afford an offsite backup solution if only for my enormous record collection (hundreds upon hundreds of CDs ripped to .wma .... I then bought a Macbook but that's a whole other story!!).

I keep looking at hosts every couple of days but it is tricky to bite the bullet when there is so little to base your decision on. Guess you have to suck it and see!
