I wanted to make a website about showing off various glitches and stuff through the use of movie files (Like the FCEU, SNES9x, emulators used here for TAS's), and I know that a good collection of these can take up a lot of space. I was wondering if anyone here knew of a nice, free place that I could host such a site that has a lot of space that is also fairly reliable. Thank you much!

When I first started my timeattack site, I had it hosted on orgfree.com . From my experience, they were quite reliable and gave decent space.

geocities makes for some fairly simple hosting, mainly because you can directly link to your files, and the urls are never too complex.

http://www.filefarmer.com/ is giving free hosting to the first 200 signups daily, if you're cheap. Don't know how reliable they are though. If you don't mind spending a few bucks on something decent and reliable, if you sign up on http://www.dreamhost.com/ with the "crazy domain insane" package (under the "managed web hosting") and enter promo code 777 after you fill out your basic information, you get a year of hosting and a domain name for $10. I signed up a few months ago and have had no problems with them at all. I recommend 'em.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I'll probably have a site ready sometime in the fall for this. Meanwhile, I do have my message board ready for my new site. Check my profile or go to "The Game Freeze" thread in the links section to see it.

HostUnlim (http://www.hostunlim.com) seems to work atleast somehow and it's free. Although i do like much more mbnet which on the other hand is not free.. If i understod correctly, HostUnlim sould have 1gb space so it should be enough for some time ;) But there are unfortunately few limitations: 1) the file must be of specific extension (which shouldn't be a big broblem since .zip files are allowed). 2) The name of the files is limited to 24 characters.
Which run should I encode next? :)

This place seems pretty good, shell/cgi/php access, so I went and followed your instructions with the 777, that waives the setup fee, but it says its 10$ per month, not 10$ for year. Is this your mistake or is this a different deal? 10$ a month not bad though...
g,o,p,i=1e4,a[10001];main(x){for(;p?g=g/x*p+a[p]*i+2*!o: 53^(printf("%.4d",o+g/i),p=i,o=g%i);a[p--]=g%x)x=p*2-1;}

http://canaca.com/ seems to give a pretty awesome deal, but I've never tried it so I don't know if there are any problems with it.
