Yahoo Groups is free, and is the home of the MC IDE project so I know it 
works well with .sit files.

It's file space is limited to 20MBs, but if your IDE is larger than that 
it won't get downloaded often anyway. :)

Congrats on the Bulgarian move.  I've heard good things there from folks 
who've visited.  If that doesn't work out there's always the beautiful 
weather of Malta....
