I know this might not be a legit post but cyber deal is cyber deal regardless of what selling, right? :)

I need some cheap deal on disk space to host some .mp3 files ( not music but documents) , dont need any fancy features , ftp along is just fine. Range from 5GB to 20 GB, depend how price varied.

ahhhhhh....you were nowhere near clear enough in your origional post. I was planning on looking for a place to get a cheap hard drive.

Ok, so you need cheap hosting with a large amount of disk space.

Not a clue where to get that personally. I'm sure others may know. Theres a 'free hosting for 3 years' thread floating around here somewhere.

it is audio files of something other than music, like audio books and voice conferences.
So to make it short i called it "document", something important :)

if it's just a voice, you can get away with recording it as low as 8KHz without a significant loss in audio quality. Then you won't need so much disk space

I heard you :) most of the time I convert them in wma format so much less space but there would be a problem...when people burn them in cd-a format, the quality isnt much + not everyone knows their way around pc :)

IF you're on a dedicated or fast connection, you can host everything yourself using an apache webserver.

www.apache.org

It's a bit tricky to set up, but when you do, it takes care of hosting forever ;).
