20 gigs of bandwith should be enough, but you may need 50 it all depends on how good your movies are
, the good ones become very popular and can eat up bandwidth like Doritos® at a lan party. Most of my movies zap 10-20 gigs for the 1st week they are out and then about 1-5 a week for the following month, residual bandwidth is minimal at 1-2 gigs a month, but remember all I do is mention them here, I dont post on uselnet or make any grand attempts to publisize my site. Occsionally my site gets a mention on a major website and when that happens, all hell breaks loose and I usually hit near 50 gigs that week and just hope that it happens near the end of a billing cycle so I get a fresh pile O bandwidth.
Just to give you an idea of what can happen, when I got back from the con last year, I posted a video of AH2...it was done by filming HT using my cameras video feature. The quality was pretty low, but the community was desprate for any info it could get. My site went down within 24 hours for exceeding bandwidth (at that time I had 20 gigs/month) and after I purchased an extra 50 gigs, I nearly hit that within the next 4 days (thank goodness the con was near the end of a billing cycle:D ) Because it was the first video of AH2 released to the public, almost every website dedicated to flight sims had a link within a week......and here I thought I was done paying for the con when I got home
