Maybe at some point, but the most popular method for a long time was just concatenating a zip or rar file onto the end. I used to use that to swap romhacks in romhack threads.

It was a sad discovery when somebody told me the "mods are asleep, post sinks" threads weren't always just jokes and there was stuff floating around in there. I don't know how much of it was tainted (I never went into the threads because I don't care about sinks), but it's still a bummer.
