Dreamhost.com provides me with 237GB (and growing) of online disk space
plus 2800GB of bandwidth per month (growing at 16GB per week).  That
means lots and lots of transfers available.  I can even set up my own
streaming server.  The problem is it would take years (so it seems) to
upload all of my music to my web host.  Perhaps I should swing by my
friend Topher's work place...  Haven't seen 'em in a while.
