Why is this even an issue? If you have the bandwidth to share large MPEG
files with friends anyway, you can do it more easily than from within
Myth. Email, P2P, BitTorrent, an FTP server, a CD via FedEx, an open Samba
share, an iPod and a USB port... plus thousands of variations on the
theme.

Since when is tacking on a feature that is already better provided
elsewhere "innovation" outside of marketing departments?
