In an ideal world, where we wouldn't have problems with disk and backup requirements, 40 mb is still a very low maximum. I have lots of videos from the Wikimedia Conference Netherlands 2007 which last over an hour and are impossible to compress to a size under 40mb. The original DV files are around a 10 GB per hour and can be compressed to a reasonable quality for about 1GB per hour. To host these (freely licensed and relevant files) i now have to either upload them to a local server or rely on services like archive.org or YouTube.
archive.org is better than nothing for now, or do they have onerous requirements?
