We use hostgator.com for bulk storage. 600Gb storage and 6Tb/month transfer 
limits for £4 per month. They also offer 1Tb storage and unlimited transfer 
for about £7/month. Includes FTP, email and the full range of server side 
support you might expect.

But buyer beware: I have heard some horror stories that almost all providers 
of huge space/transfer limits actually bump you off or insist on transfer to 
a more expensive account if you have the temerity to use as much as they 
offer. Haven't had this problem yet with hostgator, but I have seen it 
reported.

And note the small print of many many providers prohibits the streaming of 
MP3 files (and some not just live streaming of them, but even their 
storage). Often this restriction is well buried in the terms and conditions.

It has been very handy to have a remote store for a lot of material that I 
can access if needed from anywhere in the world!
