It's been brought to my attention that some encoders are using archive.org to host all of their encodes. As [thread 9442]previously discussed[/thread], this is a bad idea. Thus, to be as clear as possible, only encodes for movies that have been published or are about to be published should be uploaded to archive.org. If you are looking for alternate temporary hosting, many of our encoders have been using Mediafire, which should be acceptable for the short term.

I think sgrunt is right, I now will upload my encodings to MediaFire or blip (recommended me Sticky) when it is published so you have to climb to arrchive.org But my question is. Why not can upload to archive.org?

Actually, I would like to further stress that only movies that are already undergoing publication should be uploaded there because we all know how players like to implement last-minute improvements that often require re-encoding everything that's been made to that point.
