Actually not to plug something thats not finished... but I'm building a site for linux multimedia users(video and graphics too) as a means for new users to 'ease the pain' of converting.  The site is using drupal on a home server and is in testing at http://track100.com:8080  ... so no way would I host files yet  ...I have a Windows driver site for now defunct Aardvark Audio soundcards (http://asg.hopto.org)   ...and that can eat up a couple gigs of bandwidth a month alone...  - but linking is definitely doable...and wav isn't so unreasonable only 20MB-40MB per-track - only a couple minutes with some sort of peer to peer thingy...   I'm not sure what the legal requirements would be for keeping copyrighted stuff off the site though... I spent most of the weekend looking at COPPA junk... (and found some vandalism on some government sites privacy acts :) )

But I have a friend with a good site homerecordingconnection.com  and the paid members ($24 a year) get 24MB of space... collabs have usually had a 'leader' responsible for selecting performers and stuff...people just load their versions into their profile or link to it... and the leader assembles and mixes everything.
