No, like you are the author of some program and want to distro that program to as many people as possible. On a regular hosting account it could get quite expensive. On a mirroring account, there are no CGIs, no PHP, no nothing except striaght HTTP/FTP downloads. Costs become lower due to lower server loads. I'm talking $1.00 - $1.50 per GB or even cheaper. Raw data transfer.

I'd say a server could easily handle a few mbits of this kind of traffic with little load problems. The only loads would be on Apache and/or the ftp daemon (Proftpd or some other one). Those can be optimized to handle many connections and lots of transfer, though.

Just wondering if anyone thinks there is a market before we put the effort into making it happen.
