I haven't given any thought to soliciting bandwidth donations recently. However, that is a very good idea. My sense is that FTP is what kills me here. It would be great if we could move the "official" ftp site to somewhere with higher bandwidth which could handle a lot more concurrent connections. One of the biggest end user faq's arises out of limiting concurrent users and most browser's complete inability to report back the correct error message to the user. Right now the ftp site has about 5Gb worth of stuff. This could jump up substantially if space was available, but it wouldn't have to. Less popular stuff could continue to live here. The nicest thing though would be to move it to a server that doesn't have to impose such a tiny total user limit... If anyone would be willing to contribute something along these lines, please contact me, we don't need to discuss the details on the mailing list unless you want to.
