Would a video tutorial for setting up a redirect with Dropbox be useful?

[Sintaxx]

I had been thinking about making a simple tutorial to help people set up their own redirects using Dropbox.

I got around to making it today. Not a very good speaker so I talk fast and studder, but I figured the instructional value would be worth it.

If you watch it, does it at least explain everything correctly? I failed to mention compressing texture files (but corrected that with a note and in the description) because I had to redo the video a few times due to the program failing to put the video and audio together correctly.

Simple and easy to follow , I like it. Think I might sticky a copy of this in the Dedicated Server Support section if you approve; i'm sure some admins will find it useful.

Sure, I wouldn't mind at all. That would be great. I'd like to be able to help as many people as possible.

EDIT: Oh, and if I left anything out please let me know.

I'm assuming using dropbox you will be throttled after a certain bandwidth usage. Anyone know when/if this occurs?

I've been using dropbox for a while. They are a great hosting service. This is a quote from their help section:

"We watch carefully for any fraudulent use of Dropbox public links and will suspend suspicious links when they are detected. Links that use up more than 20 GB/day for Free accounts and 200 GB/day for Pro and Teams (paid) accounts are automatically suspended."

So a free account gets a good amount of bandwidth to work with.

I doubt running a redirect is going to use 20GB per day. If you somehow manage it, then please, what's your secret on getting so many people in your server per day?
