Yikes.
The Shared Accelerator I've moved to has a prominent display of your
bandwidth usage and allowance each month. When I looked yesterday, I'd
used 5.51 GB out of my monthly allowance, but this morning it was up to
7.3 GB. Obviously, on the 7th of the month, this worrying, and I really
don't want to end up paying for extra bandwidth, or have the sites go
dark because I've exceeded my allowance. The traffic on my own sites
isn't enough to account for it, so I'm guessing that it's probably the
Tracks site, and mostly down to the Tracks zipped downloads.
So at some point, I may have to prevent downloading of the package and
move it somewhere that I don't have to pay bandwidth for, like Dropbox,
Box.net or something, or else point people to GitHub and the download
button there. The latter is a bit more complex, and I'm not sure whether
it allows you to specify a particular commit to download - does anyone
know?
Alternatively, if some kind Tracks user has a secure, reliable server
where the bandwidth wouldn't cost them anything, and would like to host
the Tracks files, I'd be interested to hear from you!
cheers,

I know absolutely nothing about such things except as an end user - but
have you thought of using sourceforge?
