I don't know; that strikes me as overkill. We do have rack space for more servers, so we certainly could drop more in; if someone wants to buy 1U servers, we can put those in.
Looking at the traffic reports, it seems like the WineHQ server is serving A LOT more than it ever has. We're at 300GB a month compared to 200GB a year ago at this time. And I seem to recall a year before that we were a lot lower. The only thing that looks simple to offload is the Changelog, which accounts for 16GB of traffic a month.
Once again, I'd like to offer up the server we already have hosted by budgetdedicated.com. Currently it just hosts the Ubuntu APT repository, but it's quite capable of doing a LOT more.
In November, it served up 1.5 TB of data, at a rate maxing out around 3mb per second on release days.
I've already asked, and they have no problem with us offloading some of our meager site onto it :)
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
