F is for FTP

If anybody can help me get an FTP server set up on my own personal computer, I shall give the gift of free anything at anytimes. XD
Seriously, I've been trying to get an FTP server set up on my home computer so I can make the submission process for Project OrgEditor much easier, but it's being a real pain in the ass. >_<
Conversely, if anybody knows any cheap online web hosting services, that will also do. -

Actually, I was being a smartass. But I did actually think it was more or less targeted at me indirectly, since I'm generally much more laid back about videos than other people, and I'm one of those people that abuses smilies. XD
The thing about what you're saying [and I do agree with it], is that there is also room for pointing out the good. Being criticized is something EVERYBODY NEEDS. But in the same note, praise is also necessary. Otherwise, all you've got is nothing but negative things to have said about your video. Which, in turn, can just make you [and others] feel bad. Besides, while having an inflated ego is a terrible thing, we all need a little confidence booster now and again.
Then again, it helps when people are receptive to criticism. When people just expect to be pampered at all times, THATS when I personally get irritated. They need to be able to take the good WITH the bad. They can have their cake, but they need some veggies too.
For example, here's something I actually experienced when I did beta testing on somebody's video a while back on youtube. I naturally can't recall EVERY detail, but it's something similar to this.
Me: Oh, you might want to watch out for that interlacing at XX:XX. You must have just missed it when you did clipping. Not a hard fix! Oh, and you've got an orphan frame at X, Y, Z. And you might want to ditch using -anime name here -, since its art style is just WAY different than the rest of your anime choices.
Them: OH FUCK OFF. ITS NOT THAT NOTICEABLE, AND YOU'RE JUST NITPICKING. DAMN, YOU CAN'T EVEN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING THESE DAYS WITHOUT THE GODDAMN NAZIS POINTING EVERYTHING OUT.
Me: Ok then. I understand! Sorry about that, I guess I'm just a nitpicky jerk. Your video is great. By the way, there's a great group of people at AMV.org that would probably just LOVE your video. You can even link your youtube videos if you catalog it in their system!
Them: That's more like it! BIAAAAAAAAAAACH
[Ok, the last part with Biach was my own adding. xD]
______________________________
That's why I generally have a group of like 10/12 people that I constantly berate with beta videos, because I know I'll get quality feedback from them. I don't want to submit videos to contests [with hundreds of people watching it!] that aren't as good as they possibly can be.

I'm sorry. I try my best to criticize at times, but I guess I'm just too nice or have too low of standards. ;___________;
