If you're going to host the files on your own site, then you need to make the source code available for download as required by the GPL.

At the end of the video, where you say "unplug the ipod," you should explain how to safely remove the ipod.

Actually, I'm not sure why you have the page set up as you do. Most of your Rockbox links are direct links to files at our site. Why not just direct people to the manual which as all the download locations, and then use the video as a supplement?

I really dislike the fact you didn't mention the manual somewhere. New users really should have at least a look into it.
Additionally, I don't consider it a good idea to provide the build itself on some different webspace without any additional information -- it's not possible to find out what build you are providing. I don't see a reason for this if you are just hosting some daily build, and if you are using an unsupported build you should clearly state that. If that build is an unsupported build made by someone else I think it would be way better to link to the creators download page and also link to the unsupported builds thread in the forums.
