Best Large File Transfer Services

Hi everyone,

I'm going to be doing a music video project that will consist of hundreds - possibly thousands - of video clips sent to me from fans all over the world. I need to figure out the simplest, most efficient delivery method for their submissions.
Cost also is a factor (<$300)
I expect the file sizes to be in the 250MB - 1G range each. So conceivably I could be dealing with TBs of data.

I've looked into "Drop Box" (Too $$$) and "Yousendit.com" where I'd be given an upload page for the fans to use. With YouSendIt I would have a 400GB limit on uploads. Downloads are unlimited. At around $29.00 a month, I could create several accounts and monitor their usage.
I've also considered having videos submitted via You-Tube, but the compression/ quality factor gives me pause; not to mention YT probably wouldn't be too thrilled to discover that they're being used as a file server...

Does anyone have any thoughts/ recommendations on this matter?

Thanks.
Jeff

There is wetransfer. You can also look into google's cloud storage, which gives a lot of storage.

yes [www.wetransfer.com] is my current fave - be careful of dropbox - apparently they have a dodgy copyright clause in the T&Cs! I can't confirm or deny but certainly not using it.
