What's the best way to deliver a group of files over the internet?

Alright, here's the story. I recently finished arranging the track "Death is the Road to Awe" from The Fountain soundtrack, for solo piano.
There are a bunch of people who want copies of it, and I have all their email addresses and stuff. Basically, what I did was I went in Sibelius, I did "Save as Graphics", and I saved the whole sheet music file as .tiff's. I have 10 of these. Now, should I just zip these all up into a .zip file and attach that in the email? Will most people be able to open them? Or is there a better way of doing it?

There are all sorts of free websites you can use for making your file available. You could try email, but some email servers block zip attachments. If you really want to email these, you'd be better off tarring the file.

Either create a zip of the TIFFs, or convert all the TIFFs into one PDF.
If it's small (under 1MB) you could try email, otherwise just post it online (lots of free options... if nothing else I'll do it for you) and email everyone the link.

I would definitely convert a couple of the tiff files to pdf, I bet they would be smaller. How big are the total attachments?

Convert the graphical files to PDF or JPG, create a site and host it some place, then send your friends the link.

For clarification, don't actually convert the TIFFs themselves into PDFs, but make PDFs instead of TIFFs from Sibelius.
