It might also be an option (especially for bigger files) to use bittorrent. 
That way, you download from your neighbour, rather than via the IX.

a very nice tool to help create torrents is http://www.blogtorrent.com/ (the 
broadcast machine mentioned there is more for multimedia purposes, blogtorrent 
will work just fine.)

with a little extra configuration, the repository can function as a seed for 
the torrent. Any extra downloader will be seeding, too.

not sure if we are enough to really leverage from this, though. but worth a try.
