I've a client right now whose needs are quite higher than I expected. I just need to know on typically how much gigs/transfer rate i need for a site like this:

Basically, the site is supposed to be a place where indie [independent] artists can upload/download mp3s for free. There are no legal matters involved here coz the mp3s are given by the artists themselves for free.

So, with mp3 downloading/uploading involved in this site, can you guys estimate on how much bandwidth I need for this? Dedicated/colocation is out of the question though..

Btw, the site is from the Philippines... so its not as bug as some US mp3 sites... we're talking about 20 to 40 indie artists.... maybe 3 to 5 songs from each...

help?

Thank! ;]

I think a ind. average is 3.50/gig or something like that.......
