From Archive.org, Free Multimedia Hosting for Life

Posted by timothy on from the but-then-they'll-have-to-kill-you dept.

powerline22 writes "From the people who gave you the Internet Archive comes Ourmedia, a place for grassroots media to flourish. Upload anything, maybe a video, some pictures, your custom applescript, and it gets hosted for free, for life. Drupal is hosting the site, and the Internet Archive is providing hosting and bandwidth for the files."

    Interesting to know it uses php and mysql:

    Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Link to server lost, unable to reconnect in /home/ourmedia/htdocs/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 31

    Thanks, slashdot, to expose server innards by stressing it out beyond creator's expectations.
