Create a spanned archive using Winrar or Winzip. Break them up into equal parts and upload with Rapishare or Megaupload.

...or you could upload it to a Torrent site like Mininova (http://www.mininova.org) in one part :D

Select the file you want to upload
Right click on it
Select "Ajouter à l'archive..."

in the box "Taille des volumes"
write 100000000 for 100 Mo
If you have a 1go file, winrar creat 10 files of 100Mo

After use megaupload to upload the 10 files

I hope you understand me !!!

Alternatively you could contact me or Caley and we can give you log in info for our sites and you can upload it direct yourself to our sites.  we will then turn around and offer it to the rest of the forum.

Depending on your upload speed, sure.  When I had a slower upload speed sometimes the upload would crap out.  We can try it and see what happens.  FTP is the easiest way, however with the provider I use, I can send you a link and as long as you use IE, you can just drag the folder the files are in and drop it into the window that opens when you click on the link.  That will start the upload.

I personally would recommend taking the entire DVD folder (which contains the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS files), and then splitting them into  smaller archives as Tof described. Maybe something like 100 MB each. Sure this would be a lot of files, but this would ease the strain on everyone, including the servers they were hosted on.

Curious, what video do you speak of?
