I’m all for relying on an external CDN, but I also really like to *download* the video, which is a feature unfortunately absent of Youtube. 

If we could find a “sponsor” to provide the same kind of hosting as channel9.msdn.com <http://channel9.msdn.com/>, see the download options here for instance: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/GoingNative/2013/Inheritance-Is-The-Base-Class-of-Evil <https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/GoingNative/2013/Inheritance-Is-The-Base-Class-of-Evil>
