Yeah, that was my project, it worked quite nicely. However, the biggest reason was that my Raspberry Pi was my only server at that point, and besides, tranferring 10GB out of my home connection to a VPS would've been too slow for my impatient self. I think the file was stripped of all other data (which brought it down to about 4GB) and I put it on a thumb drive instead. Nowadays I would have used a VPS for that. The point with S3 or any other cloud solution is that they make sure you're up and running. Even though it might still be useful, the need for good service monitoring is as good as gone when moving to one of these cloud based platforms. And then I'm not even taking into account the time you have to invest in setting up and configuring a RPi properly vs just pushing a repo to Github Pages, or uploading a zip file to S3. Heroku or other cloud platforms can be crazy expensive, but for static file hosting, S3 or Github Pages is more than enough and quite affordable.
