Why should every lecture be that large? I'm no expert but I've downloaded realmedia lectures from http://www.aduni.org/courses/java/ at around 50-100MB. I admit knowing nothing about video or audio codecs. > I see www.haifux.org has nothing close the amount of diskspace > needed to host such a project. Maybe you could release audio only .ogg or .mp3 versions on www.haifux.org. Releasing audio only versions with a tarball of that lecture's slides could be a low bandwidth alternative. The people at http://technetcast.ddj.com/ do this often, resulting in 3-10MB mp3 files.
