    yousendit.com seems to be a favourite way of sending short clips in this forum. However, the problem with it is that once you upload, it is limited to 25 downloads, or 7 days before someone else has to upload the file again for another person to download.

    I came across another site: www.megaupload.com that doesn't have this limitation. It doesn't impose download limits in terms of the number of downloads, and only deletes a file if no one has accessed it for 30 days.

    There are 2 big downsides, though. It is a site full of ads, and to download a file, you have to wait 45 seconds for a counter to count down before you are allowed to download.

    Just throwing some options out there, I guess. I do enjoy many of the clips/mixes that you guys upload, especially of Rockets action.

    To me, that's not a big drawback at all. Waiting a few seconds before the download starts isn't a big deal. If only it ended there. The biggest drawback with megaupload is the fact that the download speeds are horrid. Even on a high-speed connection, the download speeds are in the neighborhood of 15-20 k/s.

    I prefer to use www.rapidshare.de

    The upside is that it doesn't run out like yousendit, and the speeds are pretty good. The downside is that the max size for hosting a file is 50mb, and they started to limit it to one download per hour.

    I found another one: http://www.savefile.com.

    Seems like the only drawback there is th 60 meg file size limit. That should work nicely for most of the stuff around here.
