One of the reasons I initiated the (now stalled) PayFile project was in
anticipation of this problem:

At some point if you want to actually download and validate the full block
chain from scratch, you will have to start paying for it I'm sure.
In the meantime:
1. Getting headers-first implemented and rolled out everywhere would
reduce the amount of redundant downloading and hopefully reduce transmit
traffic network-wide.
2. Implementing chain pruning would allow people to control upload
bandwidth consumption by reducing the amount of disk storage they allow.
