[IMC-Video] Update Downloads

[rotesocke]

Hi,

i just got another offer from http://ecobytes.net (server with 1.5TB), 
unlimited traffic (ecologically powered 8-) ) to mirror 
video.indymedia.org. they could even offer free static hosting... kanalb 
is setting up another mirror and I still keep trying on some 
fundraising. how many mirrors do we need to have a basic support for the 
site? it's good to have information "about how to help" concerning money 
& mirrors OR a link to that on the site.

i think, the requests and ideas for new features are very useful, 
because they outline future enhancements. support for the site will 
improve as people see the use of it... not the other way around 
unfortunately.

cheers,
andré
