Ive seen a lot of people linking to thier games, only to back it up with a few comments saying "righ click on the link and save file as" or something, then get a few more comments with people saying "nope, doesnt work", here is how to avoid that problem:
Most free webhosts dont allow you to directly link to any file on thier servers except an html file, the main culprits being geocities, tripod, fortunecity and angelfire, but the chances are if your site is hosted for free, you cant link to your game zip file. The best thing to do in this case is create an .html file with one huge link to your game zip file, then link to this html file on the daily click, so people seeing your game can then click on that link, then on the download link on the html file which is hosted on your free webspace, so the link to the file containing the game WILL work then.
to make your screenshots work, try hosting them on www.boomspeed.com, you only get a 1 megabyte account, so you could delete old screens of games nobody downloads anymore, or simply sign up for another account ^-^
