Now that you've demonstrated you're a wiseguy, kindly tell the rest of the
people on commercial hosting programs offering such files how they can do
that without root access to the box. Or is it their responsibility to pay
more for that, or own their own hardware?
There are tens if not hundreds of services that offer obscene amounts of
bandwidth, like 200GB per month or more, where you will never actually
exhaust it. There are other services that offer 100GB or less, but will
throttle you and/or cut you off if you go past that day's allotment (the
next day, it automatically turns back on). And there are still more
services that do *both* in obscene amounts for tiny prices.
You want an example, try www.powweb.com. 300GB of disk space, 3
TERABYTES of bandwidth a month, and it's $6 a month for the first year
and $8 a month for the 2nd year. So with plans like that I am sick and
tired of hearing that it's costing people money. If you can't afford $6
a month for essentially unlimited resources then you're being
unreasonable. You probably spent more than that on your cup of coffee
today.

I will be happy to backup your site, over and over,
repeatedly, every single
file, to make sure that your site will never go down. I will also ask all my
friends to do so. That way we will all have a backup.
That is excellent. And,
because I have QoS for my services, you will
not be impacting me in any way. We all win.
