Oh, but for Github Releases traffic is _free_, whereas if I am not mistaken you have to pay quite a lot to AWS. A simple estimate goes like this: 25 (size of release in MB, depends of course) * 10_000 (number of monthly downloads, I hope it's higher, see below) / 1_000 (convert to GB) * 0.09 (transfer costs to internet, per GB) and thus yields: 10K monthly downloads: 25 * 10000 / 1000 * 0.09 = 22.5$ 30K: 67.5$ 50K: 112.5$ 100K monthly downloads: 225$ According to http://erdani.com/d/downloads.daily.png, there are currently at about 1400 downloads per day (=42K /month), which means it's about 1.1K$ a year. I estimate the bill to be 30-40% less, because the Linux archives are better compressed and it's mostly those that are constantly downloaded for CI. It's still quite a lot of money (if I am not mistaken with my estimate). --
