Hi,

I have a video file (Windows Media) that I want to email to a few friends, but my mail server wont allow me to send it as the file is too big (even when zipped).

Are there any websites out there that allow you to host videos?

Cheers

No, I only use the internet in work, so I don't have my own ISP.

They seem to have re-evaluated the size limits for messages while I was in Brussels....

There are a few services that offer video hosting.

However, why not try on of the following:

Excellent - cheers.

I used yousendit, here is a link to the file for those interested - it's a Video file about Djibril Cisse - of Liverpool FC.

Good to watch for any football fans really.

I can't access MSN at work, besides, it's done now!

I know you've sorted this file now, but there are ways to use MSN at work and ruin your productivity! ;) Try MSN Web Messenger (http://www.webmessenger.co.uk/) or MSN2Go (http://www.msn2go.com/) - the latter allows HTTP proxies so should work if you can browse the web at all, I've used it at an off-site client where most ports where blocked :)

eMessenger (http://www.e-messenger.net/) is another one that came up on a search, but I haven't tried this. Looks useful though, it claims to support AOL and Yahoo protocols...
