I ran the numbers recently, and my pack is responsible for around two thirds of DFFD's total traffic by volume.  It might make sense to just host that on a separate (cheaper) server, and redirect the download link only.

I maintain the DF Starter Pack - over a million downloads and still counting!

Why not just upload the starter pack to Mediafire or Mega and link to that?

I doubt they provide the required bandwidth without paying a lot

EDIT: We're talking about 2 terabytes of bandwidth per month needed here.
Mega's €9.99/month package is still only 1TB of monthly bandwidth.
I can't find any information on mediafire's limits.

Dwarven blood types are not A, B, AB, O but Ale, Wine, Beer, Rum, Whisky and so forth.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.
