Change host. A 100GB/mo limit is a pretty old (read: crappy) plan. There are 500GB/mo, 1000GB/mo, 1500GB/mo, and 2000GB/mo ones around, for reasonable dosh. Particularly, there are some excellent deals coming out of Germany right now, and perhaps some others around, too, if you put the feelers out. Consider: * 100Mbps, unlimited download, for 1 Euro/day (though you might want to add on a bit, for extra memory, taking it to ~40 Euro/mo): http://www.ipx-server.de/ * "Unlimited" root server, for 69 Euro/month: https://www.1blu.de/hosting3.php But even some US plans aren't too bad. Here's 1200GB/mo for $149: * http://www.server4you.com/us/dedicated/index.html (They are a subsidiary of https://www.server4you.de/de/v/index.html which offers a much better 2000GB/mo for 40 Euro/mo.) For an international project, you shouldn't close your eyes to offerings from outside your regular haunts. Some of Freenet's German colleagues may help with this.
