[Coco] Color Computer Archive Question...

[Bill Pierce]

Ed, there are quite a few sites for the Coco with "bandwidth limits", maltedmedia being one of them. And yes, most providers charge for their bandwidth, the more activity, the more you pay.
The original site that the Color Computer Archives was on was also another such site but the owner found an "unlimited bandwidth site" and now you can download freely there.

What’s the problem with that exactly?  
Are site owners being charged by the mb for downloads?
Small, personal type servers that get bogged down?

Serious question.  I’ve heard the complaint against downloading an
entire site from time to time, was never clear on exactly what the issue was 
though.

I don’t see why a site (or chunks of it) couldn’t be packed into an archive
and put on a google drive type account for download.  A small Paypal
could even be charged for the dl link if needed.
