I've been a member of UM.com 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 UM.com 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

Thanks for the link, I'll start using it

Unfortunately disk space and bandwidth cost money and are both in limited supply, the limitations are there to make the most efficient use of available resources.

Incidently though, you can upload videos in our media gallery of sizes up to a maximum of 20mb.

wow..thats lots of mb.
personally 20 mb is more then enough.

IMO these 2 are the best uploading sites.
