    Also do some arithmetic.
    Figure out just how long it would take to upload 147MB of data to anywhere.
    In my case, it would take well over 40 minutes (with an upload speed of 60KB/s).

    But they all require you to upload 147MB of data.
    There's no way round that.

    Rather than rar/zip compress it with a video codec like DivX and you'll probably get it down below 20 MB

    rar is an archive compression format.
