I don't get it.
Do you need a system for sending big files to a recipient or something
else (such music streaming)?
For just sending larger files I would use an external public service
(that you can mount by yor own means or one of those you can share with
zillion users, e.g., Sendspace, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc...) but this
seems to be confronting with your first point :-?
