Uploading files which method you prefer?

Hi guys I've been wondering where would be the best place to upload files such as photos, music, videos and etc? into the file system? or database?

This pretty much answers my question but what do the wizards here in YC think? http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2006/10/15/binaries-belong-in-the-database-too

Actually, many YC wizards disagree with that article in its entirety. In many cases, not only do binaries not belong in the database, nothing else does.

In short: It depends on your application, and probably only you can know for sure (and then probably only with experimentation).

I'm thinking that Amazon's S3 is getting hard to beat for storage, especially with their recent price reduction. We plan to go that route with our app,

But didn't S3 go down some time ago? How does that say for reliability?

I like yousendit.com for transferring files from one place to another.
