I'm not sure if this belongs in Community Council or General Discussion, but I was wondering if there's a solid plan to finding a reliable upload/download site? Since that MegaUpload fiasco, I'm noticing every download link is no longer working. TGA, filefront, sendspace, etc... down the crapper. What still works, and what can we use?
Youtube is great for streaming, as long as they don't remove or silence the videos due to copyright "claims" from WMG et. al... but for downloading, I think we really need something reliable and consistent. Would it be viable to use something like Yahoo briefcase? Just a community-wide account that we could all log in to, and upload and download things at our leisure? The only problem off the top of my head being that anyone could then delete anything they wanted, were they to start some kind of pissing match with others.
What about e-mail attachments? YouSendIt? Rapidshare? (either one)? Something where the file can persist for more than a week, so someone can come back after, oh, say six months and download all of the videos he had missed out on.
