With one exception, the screencasts are hosted at archive.org, the Plone community would like to thank them for offering such a magnificent service. The "Better Web App Development" screencast is hosted by NASA, and we would also like to thank them for sponsoring Sean Kelly's time to produce that screencast, as well as for the hosting.
