no, BUT:

puredata.info is still not the place where you should store such amounts
of data.
uploading it to the website will store the data within the database
system (instead of the filesystem) leading to degradation of the
webservice of puredata.info

please do not do that.

we are currently trying to find a solution to this problem, so that
file-uploads are not stored within the zodb database but instead are
just saved as normal files. (georg, move on!)
even then, the we cannot guarantee that everybody can store large
amounts of data (currently there are 1880 members of puredata.info; we
are not google who can offer 2GB mailbox space for everybody, unless
people are willing to donate...)

the right place to upload such things would be the sourceforge release
system.

no. ftp has been locked.
use webdav-ssl: webdavs://soundgigi@puredata.info/Members/soundgigi
(for smaller data...)
