Transferring files from PC to a Mac?

Anyone know of a good way to transfer multiple large files from a PC to a Mac?
There are too many files to transfer via DVD.

I use Dropbox to seamlessly move files between mac and pc - it's like they share a common folder on the desktop. Another way for very large files is to simply buy a thumb drive and do it manually that way. Be sure to initialize the drive on the PC first. PCs refuse to read thumb drives that were initialized on a Mac, but the other way round is OK.

If it's your first Mac - congratulations and enjoy frustration free computing.

I will look into Dropbox. Do you have an affiliate link that you could PM me?
I think they offer a program that gives additional space for referrals.
