I would not suggest anything to filehosters.
One reason - this is useless, they only would hear for their marketing team, not technical stuff.
Another - those hosters are inevitable evil. Inevitable for now.
IMHO there are much better hosters like DropBox/LiveKive w/o all that hastle.
IMHO there are much more modern technologies, than HTTP/FTP, i mean p2p and RSYNC - at least integral hash codes and ability to re-load particular broken piece rather than whole file.


That is surely possible, if both client and server support UTF8-encoded filenames in HTTP 1.1 or FTP 3.0 or WebDAV protocols.
For example - this is exactly what happening on this and 95% other forums. There is no HTML file showthread.php - but rather a program that assembles HTML from pieces and give it like it was a real file.
