Filelink (Big Files)

• All of the major polish has landed. Yay!
• We're still waiting on YouSendIt for a few things, which is why the management pane still doesn't give very useful information yet.
• This is going to Beta today, so hopefully we'll get some more feedback and spot / fix any bugs before we ship.
