Hi Devin, Unfortunately we're looking at more than a little space - 50gb is probably a fair estimate once things really get rolling. Bandwidth is also a big deal; we served about 60gb of files in our first week. I'm currently in the process of looking at whatever offers I can get - whether that be setting up on somebody's server in the community, getting a VPS with my current host or anything else people can come up with.
