Here's my situation. I own and operate Brickfilms.com, which is a fairly popular site where people get together who make stop motion movies using Lego and similar toys. The site uses around 25GB a month, mostly forum traffic. I have a 60GB a month reselling account at hostforweb.com that I'm very happy with, and by selling hosting to many of Brickfilms' members I am able to pay for the hosting account plus host some of my other personal domains.
The big problem is the place where most people host their movies, brickshelf.com, recently stopped allowing movie files to be downloaded. It was an amazing free service, but I knew it wouldn't last forever. Since people are no longer to upload and share their movies, the community is suffering and I need to find a solution soon.
I need to find a way for people to host their movie files, which I know will use an enormous amount of transfer. Although I don't know for sure, my estimates are somewhere in the 1000GB a month range. There are members willing to help me pay for it, but there are also a lot of members who can't, mostly because they're young. So what I need is an economical way to get a lot of monthly transfer. That means I'm willing to settle for lower quality or capped transfer speeds or what have you.
Any suggestions? What's the best way to get a ton of transfer while going cheap on everything else?
