Unless you're using Amazon S3 for file distribution, which anyone for whom download bandwidth is a major issue should be looking into. I switched my employer's downloads from our site to S3 and we immediately started saving $5,000/month in bandwidth fees. It's kinda janky in some ways, but man, it's fucking cheap. And the download rates don't suck either. w --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
