Someone, somewhere, is paying for this bandwidth...

  In this case, that would be my employer: https://www.nucleus.be/en https://www.nucleus.be/en Most ISPs/hosting providers have some bandwidth to spare, to be able to cover the spikes in traffic and support their growth. As long as this Infinite Downloader doesn't consume _too_ much traffic, we'll be happy to sponsor it. Bandwidth/peering agreements are made in terms of commitments, and as long as you stay beneath your committed data traffic, additional bandwidth isn't charged. Once it starts to saturate uplinks or pose in any way a problem to other clients, it'll get shot down. But I don't see that being the case any time soon.

      I bet this DAAS project would be much more efficient if it utilized middle-out compression in the transfer.
