Streamload is one possibility. There are others -- gmail and such. This is just what can be had *for*free*.
For that matter, the uploading process doesn't require a user to agree to those terms at all. There's a module in CPAN that allows an upload, and never asks me to agree to any terms, nor does it ask me for an account password.
I don't have multiple accounts, I don't *use* the encryption to attempt to circumvent the download restrictions, especially considering that said download restrictions don't even come into play until I need a restore. By the time I do need a restore, I'm willing to pay money, as 100 megs a month is certainly not going to be enough. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
