  Why didn't you upload the ogg to several free file hosting services? There are tons of them on the net, a few are:
  
  Rapidshare Diino / Diinoweb Flyupload Zshare Megaupload Filefactory
  
  and so on...

  I am willing to donate space/bandwidth from my Amazon S3 account (fastest and cheapest storage/bandwidth there is) to host your videos to prevent this sort of thing from occurring.

  Thanks. I'm no longer so sure what's causing the slowdown and instability (the Ogg was my first guess, but it's still slow and I phoned the host just as I was seeing the site regaining stability). I thought about just putting large files on my box which is also a server, in which case it doesn't take the whole site down along with those large files. Shane used to separate media (including images) from the standard HTML/PHP bits, but we recently had to change this (media.@ edu-nix has been unavailable).

  my ping-o-meter never went off, and we're way cool on B/W right now - 33% utilization at 66% of the month, so I dunno what happened. edu-nix.org will be getting a facelift over the next few weeks...

  Ever since this morning's incidents I've been getting this warning at times:
  
  "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 252825 bytes)." It comes from Google Sitemap. It seemed like the host was fiddling with something at some stage. Hopefully it gets resolved a little later. :-)
