Tassel of Blue has put me in charge of making her album accessible to the forum members here. But i have a problem....

She has now finished her album "Sonic Epiphany" for 2 weeks now, and i've been unable to upload it to our site. It is a 94mb archive, which, it seems, is too big to download to Modplug Central, so i'm taking suggestions on where we can upload the file so that she can share with the members of this forum. But here are the criteria:

1. MOST IMPORTANT: The site cannot be a "general public" site where just anyone can find it looking for something else. We need a small or private site, where there is limited traffic, and the traffic is targetted to music. General upload sites like zippyshare (too public) and mod archive (too general) are out of the question for our purposes. The purpose is to keep the music private but "share-able".

2. The site has to accept any file type including non-standard ones.

3. The site has to accept a 94 MB upload. This album upload will not be broken up to suit anyone or any site. She's adamant about this.

4. The site has to be a "trusted" site. If you don't know what that means, you may not want to make any suggestions.

We're not expecting a lot, so anyone who can help will be greatly appreciated.

If you're interested, PM me and I'll hook you up with an FTP account on my webserver. I've got unlimited bandwidth and storage space, so it's not a problem. :)

I saw Bvan's site in his signature and checked it out.  A little spartan but not bad.

I need a link to yours, residentgray. Is that it in the signature?

May not be what you want, but you can try the service I am running - Disc Shelf (http://www.disc-shelf.com). You can create an album, (design it beautifully, if you want), and put a status of it secret, so that nobody will have access to it, onl if they know the URL, so you can share this URL with those you want or embed the album on another website and people will be able to see the design and stream it.
Example of an embedded album is here: http://www.slowclub.org/?page=recordings&num=3

I can also offer hosting for you Harbinger.

I don't know, never been there. I'll have a search for Tassel of Blue now.

She has included a few previews on a recent thread. They are a good sampling of what's in the album.

I've been listening to it for 3 weeks (i'm doing the post production on it) and i love it. She's included a couple of tracks we've previously released under Aeon but the rest is original. If you can't stand EDM, this isn't for you. But it's great for the background if you're working on the computer, or for your private house party.

As said before, we'll make a decision tonight, and if all goes well, it will be available tomorrow.

I'm convinced this will find a way. And curious for the result too.
Although I still don't understand the technical reason not to split the album into several tracks.

Clever thing to do. You will find out that this person is probably of the female gender, so : there you go in the first place...
Watch out. Probably a person with a mental disorder, by playing voluntarily on e.g. some percussion instruments.

ah yes, that's a common trait in us, tracker users. =)
