Browsing through the promotional media section I often run across netlabels hosting their releases with Rapidshare and other web-based file-sharing services. 95% of the time I don't bother downloading--it isn't worth the hassle of CAPTCHAs (those little fields where you enter stupid codes) or time limits or pop-up ads or any of the other garbage that comes along with these sites. I'm betting that a lot of other people feel the same.
I've been offering free hosting with Ektoplazm to a lot of different netlabels for a while now but I don't have an unlimited capacity. In fact, I am pretty close to my monthly bandwidth limit and have no choice but to be very choosy with what I host.
Not so for the Internet Archive! They offer free hosting with unlimited space and bandwidth to any netlabel. Visit them here:
http://www.archive.org
Some psytrance netlabels have taken advantage of their services but many seem unaware. I'm posting this to highlight that you can have your free release hosted in lossless quality for absolutely nothing. Well, not quite--it takes a bit of work, and the site can be somewhat confusing. If you would like some help getting started I have just published a guide on the subject. Read it here:

Just say no to Rapidshare

indeed, the music that is served through free services like rapidshare, sendspace and other that you have to type something, sometimes are not worth the effort by doing it..
just to anoying, and it is good you have brought this conversation alex, because although you host a lot of free music , sometimes it reaches a limit and it is great for people to be aware of other places to host their music.
