I don't think, given the automatic nature of general podcasting, that anything
more than 10 mins is desirable.
Nothing to stop one from offering a seperate feed with longer pieces for those
who want it tho.
Literally millions of people bittorrent, and think nothing of up/downloading
entire DVD's
In fact, in the world of bittorrenting, until the advent of the ipod at least,
files of anything less than DVD (or DivX
equivalent) were considered inferior and looked down on.
Personally, I use the Internet Archive, who actually specifically ask that one
contribute as higher quality source as
possible, when long form is asked for.
And also, on occasion, bittorrent out at DVD quality.
Veoh, and even google, are other options.
