On that same note: Vimeo does allow download links to the source files (assuming its a distribution format like MPEG4 and not intermediate codecs designed to be used by Final Cut, Avid etc). In the interest of preservation, it'd allow users to download the sources as well, would be more easily viewed (and embeddable).

I do see value in hosting outside of Vimeo/Youtube as the likelihood of having content DMCA'ed is a looming threat.

Folks from Apple IP's visit the site everyday (and have for years!) I even get some e-mails saying Thank You for making this available.

Right now I host this on a simple desktop computer running CentOS (an AMD Athlon X2 with 32gb of RAM, Mirrored 1TB hd)

I tried hosting it on a VPS and well, performance was so bad.
