Hi,

I am considering hosting my software in a file-hosting service.

I have (almost) no bandwidth restrictions but due to burst downloads of my program (happens after an article in a high traffic site is posted with a link to my site – like a download slashdot effect) my ISP caps my upload bandwidth (for example I have 700GB bandwidth per month included with my site hosting (rackshack) but they wont let me go over lets say 100GB a day). I don’t know if they had not cap me I would survive since the concurrent users would have grown rapidly since the file served is a few MB’s and the server load would melt the server

It looks like Filekicker, FileBurst, Swmirror and Topdownloads are the main sites. Do any of you have any burst-downloads experience with these / other file-hosting providers? Do they cap bandwidth / connections?

Any of them give static IP's?

Any other idea how to overcome the capping problem?

Thanks for your help!
