As I'm sure everyone knows, hosting our website through SourceForge kinda sucks since it's so dang slow. Particular pain points are wiki and screenshots. SF is also continuing to prompt us about disk quota limits.
But the challenge to switching is that inkscape.org gobbles *tons* of bandwidth - 130G last month! Back when we had some downloadable packages from our website it jumped to nearly 400G.
Why not using bittorrent?
BitTorrent will help with the bandwidth consumption, but only for the packages. Web pages, wiki and the image gallery are also consuming a lot of bandwidth and BitTorrent can't do anything about that.
We could offer packages via BitTorrent, as an alternative, but I'm not sure how many people would use them when they can simply do a direct download.
