Anyone using Google Docs to collaborate/share information? I've put a few things up and shared them with 25 people. Some have no problem reading, downloading, whatever. Some people get server errors, blank pages, or have other problems that I can't begin to figure out what is going on...

What's your best option for sharing a file with many people, some of whom don't/won't have a gmail account?

Yeah it's 10:15 on a Saturday Night. What's your point?

Okay, 9:50 on Friday but still...

Actually it's 9:57, but who's counting...
