For those of you not into geekspeak... skip this paragraph. My web hosting plan allows for 3 Gigabytes of traffic each month. Normally I don't even scratch that. But yesterday alone, my web traffic burned through 85 Gigabytes, and eventually my web host pulled the plug, ending my access to email and my ability to remove files from my site.
I finally got ahold of the web hosting company and they removed the videos for me so the same thing wouldn't happen again, and then they reinstated the site. I am still getting tremendous amounts of traffic even though the videos are no longer there, but hopefully my site won't be shut down again.

Heh... welcome to the INTARWEB hehe... yeah, at 7.5 megs a download, i watched all three, and sent friends to see it as well. Originally found your site thru digg i think, either way, i'm glad you've gotten it under control. Let us know when you have the vid's up again, where ever they are!!!
you should consider switching to a better host - dreamhost for example, they give 1 terabit of bandwith for only $7.95 a month.. they've got a referral system also, so you can make back the hosting costs pretty quickly.
Welcome to the world of slashdot/digg. Give YouTube a try for video hosting (free).
Your video was also featured on StumbleUpon, a firefox plugin which highlights favorite links from a couple hundred categories.
