Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with the present invention allow a media file to be transmitted from one jurisdiction to multiple media hosting sites in another jurisdiction in accordance with a user's instructions. The media file may be transmitted over a long distance communications channel once, and then uploaded onto the multiple media hosting sites, rather than be sent across the long distance communications channel once for each media hosting site to which the user intents to upload the file. Additionally, the media file may be uploaded locally by the user, and then the user may rely on the systems and methods disclosed herein to transmit the media file across the long distance communications channel, rather than require the user to transmit the file over the long distance communications channel.
