We just updated the Hosting Guide today, with two new additions! Now we have even more sites to use if an old one doesn't work. Use this thread to recommend any new sites you might have found, and if I like them, I'll add them to the list so people can use them, with your credit! 
Pros and cons are listed as follows:
+ pro
- con
*** diagnosis
Putfile: (http://www.putfile.com/)
+ almost unlimited time (6 months from latest download)
- not all people can get it working easily (though all should be able to)
- only 10 MB
- tricky to download from (find out how in our forums)
*** 4/5: Best, most reliable service of any of these, and very useful for us judges to view the videos. Please send in your videos with this if you can, then once the video is on the site, you can put up any secondary links (with higher-quality videos from other hosting services here) in the page so everyone can watch with the best quality!
Picafile: (http://picafile.net/)
+ up to 60 MB!
+ Progress bar to show how much is uploaded
+ easy download function
- very sensitive to file types (ex. AVI files will NOT work.)
- not all people can get it working easily (though all should be able to)
- no specified length of time they’re kept up for! Could be years, could be a month. (We haven’t seen a video expired on it yet, however, so hopes are high!)
- Untested. We’re in the dark on this one, but it’s worth a try at least.
*** (3-5)/5: Risky, but definitely worth hosting on as a secondary link. If your video will work on this, try it out! It’s even better than Putfile if it does end up hosting videos for a long time. Also, please don’t send us any video bigger than 20MB. It takes a long time to download, and may put off a lot of viewers.
(Credit to ScottOrSteve and Movieguy for finding this site!)
Megaupload: (http://www.megaupload.com/)
+good time-wise (30 days from last download)
+ Progress bar to show how much is uploaded
+ 500 MB
- minute wait for download (or so)
- untested
- slow uploads/downloads (at this time)
*** 4/5: Better than Rapidshare, but not better than Putfile. A little too slow. But very very close.
(Credit to Shannon for finding this site!)
Rapidshare: (http://rapidshare.de/)
+good time-wise (30 days from last download)
+ Progress bar to show how much is uploaded
+ 30 MB
- minute wait for download (or so)
- doesn't work well for everyone (ex. AOL users won’t be able to download from it)
- only one download per hour (extremely annoying for us judges)
*** 3/5: Use as a primary download source ONLY if the above two do not work. If we get more than one of these a day, it means an hour-long wait until we can complete judging, which just doesn’t work at all. Otherwise, it’s very useful to offer people a high-quality video with this, after it has been posted to the site. (But first try out Picafile, and see if it will work for your video)
Yousendit: (http://www.yousendit.com/)
+ Works for almost everyone
+ easy to use
+ 1GB size
+ fast uploading
- only 7 days
- videos can be removed by outside parties (pranks, etc.)
*** 2/5 : Useful for sending files to others, but not for hosting a video. The others all offer PERMANENT free hosting. With Yousendit, you would need to upload your video every single week just to keep it up!
Handy tidbit: If you're on dial-up, and find yourself getting cut off all the time during a download or upload, consider trying out http://s12.yousendit.com/dmanagers.aspx Yousendget, a download manager for yousendit. Among other things, it allows you to resume broken downloads, so you don't need to restart every time! (Thanks to LostZilla for this info!) Also, it is very useful for downloads off other sites, if you find yourself getting cut-off all the time.
Recommendation :
First upload a file of 10MB or less to Putfile, and use that to send in your video. After the video is posted on the site, locate its forum topic (by clicking the “Watch and Discuss!†link on the video), upload a bigger version of your video to Picafile or Megaupload (20MB is a good size), and post that link in the topic. A moderator will soon take that link and put it up at the top, along with your other link. It also helps if you state what its file size is.
And again, only use Yousendit if you absolutely have no other choice. Updating links gets to be a very tiresome chore, and I you ever forget, then that video is useless!
Some terms:
Primary Link: The first link of a video, and the one you input here in the submit section. Usually should be a small file on a reliable server that can keep it up as long as possible (ex. Putfile) that way, you can be sure even the dial-up users can download it okay! The information inputted in the submit form should reflect this file (ex. 10 MB in size)
Secondary Link: Any link to the video that you post after it has been added to the site, and a forum topic has popped up. Post it in the forum topic, and a moderator will soon be there to put it in the download slot as a second (or third) choice for viewers to download from. It usually should be a larger file than the original, so people can view your video at its highest quality if they have the time. 20 MB is more than enough for this purpose.
Thank you for listening, and have a good time on the site!
