I've got the file. Where do I mirror it? Have fast connection to upload.

Two good options: http://www.youtube.com and http://depositfiles.com/

Note that you will need to provide some identification info (I don't remember what) if you want to upload a long HD video to YouTube. IIRC not needed for 480p.

I thought of YouTube, but the 15 minute barrier stopped me. So now I'm uploading to Veoh.com (at 45% as we speak) - it should be done shortly, I'll post the link once it's done. Hopefully they don't want to re-encode it. In that case, I'll upload to depositfiles.com...

Ok, fuck - it uploaded but now it's recoding the file. Sigh. It'll be at http://www.veoh.com/watch/v40542469qRZG8NMn once that's done. I'll now proceed to upload at DepositFiles.com, using the university's not-as-fast-as-I-thought network.

(edit: nevermind. Use the other mirror (^^up there) instead.)

(and when did universities stop having ridiculously overdimensioned internet connections?)

About the same time internet video took off

perhaps you could torrent it?

That would be best. Share the magnet link and we will all help.

Ok. I used Burnbit to create a torrent

Would love to, but am at a university network and will go home in less than 20 minutes. If the Veoh doesn't work, I'll upload to depositfiles.com, so you could grab it from there and then torrent it? I agree that it's probably is the best solution.
