Right.  Based on a rough estimate of the filesizes that I've seen
James post, let's assume 1M for a normal patch and 10M for a large
touch-everything patch.  Let's also assume that each day has 10
normal patches and 1 large patch.

That means 20 Mb upload per day, or 600 Mb per month.  Let's guess
at 10 views per patch (possibly the same reviewer looking at the
data a few times), and that's 6 Gb download (given the generous
over-estimates).  Unless I've screwed up the math somewhere.
(granted, this doesn't count bandwidth for translators looking at
documentation)

That's probably ok for a server.  It would be be nice if it were
smaller, of course, but it doesn't strike me as being ridiculously
large.
