My personal favorite.. use amazon's s3 for hosting the files.  Costs a
little, but you get effectively unlimited bandwidth and torrent is just
an added bonus that comes along for free.  It was how I mirrored the 1.0
release ages ago.  I think it cost me a whole $2.50 for several thousand
downloads.

Later,

Disclaimers: Yes, I work for Amazon.  No, I don't work on S3.  Yes, I
use S3 for my own personal hosting of some big-ish files (including all
of the d conference 2007 presentations).
