Standard practice is to use the Apache mirror system (
http://www.apache.org/mirrors/ ) which is split across 250+ servers
around the world. If there is need for much more bandwidth (80TB/250 ==
300GB/month per server, not that much), we can set up some dedicated
machines to handle this, but I'd suggest we wait and see what happens.
