Suggestions for video hosting - not YouTube/Google or vimeo

[MyOhMy]

Hello All,

I'm looking to find a decent FREE video hosting site. It'd be something I'd hardly ever use but I have a video ready for a forum post which I need a host for so I can link to it. I will not use super-spying sites such us YouTube because than entails signing up for Google 'Passport' (or something like that). Google T's&C's clearly state it is their intention to access your computer to spy on you and do whatever it likes with your files - this is a big no-no for me. I dislike Google with a passion.

I've just joined Vimeo, went to watch my newly uploaded and very short video but there's a 30 minute wait to view unless I pay for an upgrade. I can't link to this vid in a post and expect forum readers to wait 30 minute to view the vid, it's ridiculous!

So, that's where I am to date, has anyone any suggestions? The video is only a few seconds long recording a strange sound from within a BB - not worth paying £'s a year in membership fees for the privilege of seeing it!

Thanks All,

C.

I tested the vid (hosted at Vimeo) on a thread here: https://boomboxery.com/forum/index.php/topic/24115-testing-a-vid/

When I clicked on the link to view the video it played straight away this time - would the video normally/usually play straight away once an initial....'delay' of 30 minutes has passed (probably something to do with the hosting site [in this case Vimeo] updating its servers?

JVC Floyd clicked the link and the video played immediately.

sometimes there's a delay so that the video can be reviewed for content and approved to make sure there's no content they don't approve of lol.

Aahhh, says she, now the penny has dropped!

First time 'clickers',, the vid is here: https://vimeo.com/139217645

No need to comment on the vid itself, I'll create a new topic for that. Does the link work for you? Huh, does it? Go on, you can tell me!!! Aw, c'mon.......

Ha, I can see it!!!

If you good, fine folk can actually view the video without delay then I'd be happy to stay with Vimeo (until such times as I realised I'm being over-spied on!).
