I've got a feeling that angelfire have a file size limitation now - but it's worth checking. As has been said, these things change - but my impression is that even when they tighten up or reduce things for new entrants, they don't bother to go round reducing services for the people who got in earlier.
One thing with lycos.tripod, whatever they like to be call led, they have servers in India and various other places as well as the UK, so I imagine you could probably get webspace on all of those, and link them up to have a pretty sizeable amount of webspace.
Maybe it's better to get paid space - but my impression is that the people selling this are just as likely to fold in the night as the freebies.
