Hello Mirko, You could leave the mpg file the size as it is and torrent it. If you check out this link you should be able to find a free torrent tracker. http://chomskytorrents.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22 The tool you need to make your .torrent file is " aptitude install bittornado " manual : man btmakemetafile
Once you made you .torrent file it need to be upload it to a tracker. Then you open this .torrent with a torrent client : aptitude install bittornado-gui You will need to setup the internet connection to allow for torrents, thats is you will need to open some ports for the torrent client and may need to port forward these ports if you are behind nat. I run my own tracker so if you want to do so dummuy runs of a .torrent file I should be able to help you. I use noip for a free domain name for the torrent. So there food for thought, should you lower the quailty of the mp2 and go for the standard download this file from your hosting or leave the quality alone and check out the torrent world.
