Update
Folks,
First of all, happy holidays everyone. This is the period when I normally kick back and listen to lots of music. This should mean shitloads of posts. However, as most of you have guessed, bandwidth has become a major issue for me. Here the situation:
1. I have tried every free site and every unlimited bandwidth site out there (thanks to those who sent in wonderful suggestions on what to try). Thing is, unlimited bandwidth is a myth. Just a business trick to get you sucked in to the payment web. I get nicked after a while. Most I have seen is 25GB for free sites. And that's the daily consumption on this blog.
2. Looks like I have to pay to feed the high consumption. I need about a 100GB a month and a great deal of recycling or removal of posts for this amount to suffice. However, a 100GB bandwidth, where it does exist, costs tons - $99 and above. Amount of money willing to spend of this blog max = 30 bucks, Canadian.
3. In the final analysis, I love blogging. So I am going to keep sticking the files in the free places until I find a permanent solution that is cost friendly. And it will not be sendspace, megaupload, or rapidshare. I need a file host, not a file store.
Cheers.

Why not a site like:
http://www.siteground.com/ftp-hosting.htm
Designed more for web hosting but it might do the trick...
Dang, does MyDataBus have limits as well? Dedicated live blogging leads to a serious space/bandwidth issue, and I really appreciate that you're sticking with it, despite all the hassles. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Roland, for the mydatabus connection and the support! But yes, all free hosts do have limits!
Just wanted to say thanks coz I love your blog!
have you tried filelodge?
filelodge.bolt.com
or
www.filelodge.com
just wondering
I would like to suggest Bingo http://www.bingodisk.com/ $199 per year for 100 GB of storage and 100GB bandwidth per month ($.20 per GB over that). They also have cheaper plans (with lower limits). Joyent's service/support is excellent as well.
okay, $200 a year.
i'll gladly chip in $50.
get 3 other KNKfans to chip in $50 each, or ten to chip in $15.
SOMETHING's gotta work.
c'mon, guys.
email me at james@corsostaicoff.com with an more info.
i'm SERIOUS.
let's make this HAPPEN...
