Hi, we have experimented with hosting the tiles on archive.org there are no size limits or bandwith limits, http://ia600606.us.archive.org/31/items/SharedMap2/index.html
Can you clarify this a bit? Have the archive.org people officially said, "you're welcome to store as much data as you like and to download as much as you want"?
In case anyone is curious, I have a couple of non-OSM map apps which I serve from Amazon S3 & EC2. On average, each user downloads in the order of 1 GB of map tiles. So this is affordable for any paid-for app - but it's unlikely to be viable for a free or ad-supported product. I would expect OSM-based apps to be similar.
