I'm not sure .... I'm not an expert ;) The only thing I would do is 'google' to find my answer. Other than that the only thing I can think of is torrent the file via azureus or other bit-torrent client using a file share site like pirate bay or mini-nova, etc.

What about just uploading the file to MegaUpload?

MegaUpload asks you to provide the email addy of whoever needs to download the file so all Mom and Pop would need to do is open their email (watch the spam filter!) and click on the enclosed link (it will say something about "You can use the following link to share this file" or some such, that's the link to the download).

They'll then need to enter a 3-letter code on the first MegaUpload screen, wait 45 seconds and then click on the download button, and voila they're downloading your pirated movies, porn, whatever!

The maximum file size you can upload is 1GB so you're well covered. Transfer speeds are nothing to write home about, but hey, it's free so... Yeah.

Easy peasy, no? Easy peasy, YES! You might find yourself needing to help Mom/Dad navigate a little bit in order to start the download, but it's pretty simple really. That much you can handle I'm sure.

maybe you just need to make the file executable? Sounds like that might be the case. just navigate to the file you are supposed to type to make it run and then right click it and tick the box that says 'allow file to be executed'. Does that help?
