Bandwidth

Once in a while I put a song in the Jukebox. Some songs are popular, others won't be downloaded at all. That's your choice. Today I put a file in the box of which I was sure that it would be popular. Why? Because the famous Boing Boing links to it.

And while I have enough bandwith left for this month, I had no idea what to expect. 10 downloads? 100 downloads? 1000 downloads? More? In such a case, it is wise to monitor the trafic.
At this moment the file has been downloaded 170 times and has generated 835 Mb trafic on a little bit more than two hours:
