we have around 800G free hard disk space, feel free to use them 
(uhm...well). video.indy is running, just follow the publish process.

there are some know issues and it would be better if someone has a look 
on the bandwidth usage and any kind of errors with the website. or in 
other words, there is only one admin (me) who knows the bugs and 
problems of  video.indy. So if i'm busy around the g8 meeting, it could 
take a longer time to fix some issues. We also have a torrent server 
running, so if we have to block the http download due the massive 
traffic, we are able to switch to torrent with a limited bandwith usage.
