You <i>can</i> just upload your AMVs on the site. Any FTP client will do.

I always suggest the command line FTP client that comes with Windows (or your OS of choice).

The p2p program i'm using is LimeWire, it has really grown in the last two months.

BTW is there a place to host your AMV's for free?

Yes. You've already found it: the Org.

But if your AMV sucks it won't get hosted right?

It doesn't matter how good your AMV is; as long as it follows the rules (predominantly anime and/or original animation, no sexual nudity, no excessive violence), it can be hosted here.

We're not <i>that</i> elitist.

Ok I don't know if anyone has already said this but use www.usmanbiz.com. When I set up my account they asked what I was going to use it for. I said host amvs and hold amv contests. The next day I got an email and they gave me my site address and password that I wanted. It has a great control panel and ftp upload/server. You get 1 gigabyte and 5 gigabytes worth of bandwidth and it is free. No file size limit. I guess now you might as well stop posting in this forum because I just solved everyone's problems.

That sounds like it could work for someone who only has a couple videos to host. 5GB goes by very fast once you start hosting a few videos, especially if they become popular. I don't have many videos and haven't made anything new in quite some time yet I will probably hit 5GB tomorrow on my personal web site.

Yeah but they have a deal for 3.99 a month and 50 gigs of space with unlimited bandwidth or 12.99 a month with unlimited space and bandwidth. It's usmanbiz.com and they rock.

If you try it tell us cause I personally wanna know about the unlimited hosting if you or anyone else is thinking about getting it.
