I didn't mean real-time viewing/playback/streaming hosting but rather that the
file can be downloaded (not in real time) via regular HTTP request (and
possibly BitTorrent and/or rsync, but these may be too much to ask), at one's
leisure for being stored on the hard disk, possibly at a relatively low and/or
limited download speed. E.g: something like the following commands:

wget -c http://videos.nisanov.com/catalyst.webm

Or:

rsync --inplace -a -v --progress
rsync://videos.nisanov.com/perl-mongers-videos/catalyst.webm ./catalyst.webm

Hope it is clear now. After that one can use local video/sound/subtitles/etc.-
editing programs to do something that is allowed by its licence (or just watch
it).

Regards,
