Has anyone thought to use an S3 host such as jungledisk? The rates are
INCREDIBLY nice. They charge only for what you use.
Storage
$0.15 per GB-Month of storage used
Data Transfer
$0.10 per GB of data uploaded
$0.17 per GB of data downloaded
Requests
$0.01 per 1,000 upload requests
$0.01 per 10,000 download requests
no minimum payments, and for an extra dollar per month you can have direct web
access to all of your files. My last bill was only $1.41 for several gigs worth
of data. I'm not sure about the speeds, but I believe the files are placed in
multiple datacenters so not everyone is downloading from the same place.

Just a thought. May not work very well. Maybe I'll test it this month.
Thank you,
Alec Sanger
