Jörn,

Thanks a lot for your generous offer. Last December, Ben Bloomberg also
offered hosting at MIT. So I'm thinking about a hosting model with
HTTP mirrors for more than 35Gb...

With the HTTP mirroring model, there could be a possibility to
"auto-host" some files. Similarly to the BitTorrent model, the idea
would be to encourage participation in the mirroring effort, and let a
download manager decide what's the best source. Since there are ways to
setup a hybrid system with BitTorrent and direct HTTP downloads, maybe
it'd possible to benefit from both protocols, for robustness.
