</div>How many people do you actually think would want to download it at this<br>
point? 10? 20? 100? If there were thousands of us messing about with<br>
such things, maybe. But considering I'm using dropbox as a CDN for<br>
images on several of my sites (does miracles for my bandwidth, I only<br>
have 2-and-a-bit Mbits upstream) and have never seen a problem, I'm<br>
inclined to not worry about it too much.<br>
<br>
Or you could just sign up for a freebie email account, make a dropbox<br>
account for it and use that, so it doesn't really matter.<br><font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div>Happy to host any Mele images on Amazon S3 or a server of mine.</div><div><br></div><div>Justin</div><div>
