I use dreamhost.com and could not be happier. They offer me (the
offer I took) 2 TB transfer, and even with two applications out
there, I am still using less than 0% of available bandwith.
If you sign up with dreamhost, type the text Trausti when asked, and
you get a big discount.

You might consider hosting your downloadable files with Amazon's S3
service.
They charge only 20 cents US per gigabyte and there is definitely
no limit
and no problems with performance or reliability. You can host your
web site
wherever you like, just point the download links for your software
to your
Amazon S3 bucket.
Another alternative (with perhaps somewhat faster downloads for
Europe than
S3 offers) is Cachefly (http://www.cachefly.com/). Their entry
level plan
for 30 GB per month costs $15. They are specifically geared toward
handling
spikes in bandwidth, so they will also definitely not hassle you or
limit
you. If you go over the 30 GB limit, they just charge you an
additional 49
cents per gigabyte -- the same per gigabyte rate, in other words.
I have used both of these services. Either one will allow you to
handle
bandwidth spikes with ease -- you could have 1,000 people
downloading your
application at the exact same time and there would be no slowdown
in speed
for any of the thousand people, no refused connections, etc.
HTH,
Walt
