I'm pretty sure we pay for more bandwidth than we use, and can probably
just absorb this.

Our colo provider keeps getting bought, and Newman and I are terrible at
using the console, because they keep changing it.  But in theory, he or
I should be able to easily see how much bandwidth we're using, and if
the 52k downloads would make any difference :-/.

Jer, I nominate you to read the numbers.  I need the 95% figure.  I'll
do the yucky work of finding our contract to see what our cap is, so we
both get an annoying chore out of it :-/.

I haven't found a CDN with a low barrier to entry.  That is, I'm not
aware of one we could spend $50/month with to host this stuff.

Of course, I haven't explored this space in a long time, so if someone
is aware of a CDN with good pricing, let me know.  (We probably could
save some money over what we're spending now.)

We do have a legal organization, so we could enter a contract directly
as the Wine project (well, as the Conservancy, but Conservancy on behalf
of Wine).

As a fallback option, our CDN contract does have plenty of headroom, so
I'm certain we could host these files on media.codeweavers.com without
any trouble.

Cheers,

Jeremy
