Posting Movies and Other Files on Cellar.Org

[lheene]

I've been a member of Cellar.Org board for a while, and I've noticed people posting picture and movie files. Most of the hosts use they use allow only 100 MB, some even accept files only up to 10 MB in size. I think Cellar.Org would get much better videos and pictures if people were able to post HUGE files and databases. Also, most hosts only allow pics and videos. What if you want to post shareware or data files?

I use a new site that lets you upload up to 500MB of ANY type of file WITHOUT ANY QUESTIONS. Check out badongo.com http://www.badongo.com. It's a free hosting server that lets you upload files in whatever format. In addition, you can upload softwares, movies, vids, etc. up to 500 MB. Whatever you wanna upload, they support that format no questions asked.
If you want your files to stay there, make sure to read their terms and conditions. http://www.badongo.com

Screw that. I'm making my own file sharing site anyway. I think I can offer members a somewhat fairer deal than that.
