Hi all,
    I'm working on making my own userland image for the ZipIt Z2  
(which I tentatively call Side-Track) and I need two things.

1. What would be a good place to upload it to so it does not use up  
all of my bandwidth when folks grab it. Bittorrent may be a bit  
awkward. The image will be about 500MB compressed. Something like  
Megaupload?
2. Since I'll need to image the MiniSD card using DD, it will grab a  
bunch of bits it does not need because they exist as freespace.  
Would using a tool like sfill from secure-delete fix that so that  
the space is zeroed and compresses better?

Thanks,
Adrian
