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.

You should (ab)use the offering Erik did once of manually moving the files to the servers with his sftp account (I hope not being confusing the individual!)
