Depends on how much space and bandwith it will require.

We can cheat:
- filehosting on fileplanet
- use a frames webpage hosted here
- place real pages on geocities pages
- provide a template for these geocities pages, so everybody pages looks like the others
= No hosting needed, except the frame definition index.html file, and the menu.html file.
(note: this idea its crap, except the fileplanet one that its evil )

Tei has a point, fileplanet IS indeed evil. There are a few quake focused websites around, and many of these servers have some spare bandwidth. And frames would allow it to be shared nicly...

Fileplanet wouldn't be TOO bad, but it would be nice to have something a little better to work with. But then again, maybe I'm thinking of planetquake (the one that redirects you to an advertisement page all the time, which wouldn't be good since we're going for a seamless presentation of QExpo)?
Reserving the domain QExpo.com would be relatively cheap, wouldn't it? I'd be willing to paypal in a few bucks (like, $20?).

I have webspace with a traffic limit of 50gb/month, so I guess I could host some files. But I have no idea how much traffic it really might be, so please tell me about it before I say "Yes" _________________ Quake Maps

No one can give you real data. We are coders, not futurologys
but here my 0.02 $:
Telejano stuff:
Around 600 downloads per release, 3 GB/Month
Most quake webpages consume much less, around 10 MB/Month, others even less 1 MB/Month, but a few will get really much more than 1 GB/Month, maybe the bigger will get 10 GB.
If we have 20 webpages, 10 small ones, 6 medium and 4 big:
10 * 0.001
+
6 * 3
+
4 * 10
-------------
Around 52 GB/Month the first month. Much less the next month, and lower and lower to around 1 GB month.
Anyways I think hosting files can be elsewhere, really, even on Evilplanet. KISS keep its simple, stupid! / KICS keep its cheap, stupid!.
I have not real idea, but I hate wen somehome ask and not one can give any data. I give you unacourate data, that its better than nothing. 0.0001 better than nothing.
Maybe some hosters here (frikaC and guys from QUAKESRC) can give you real accurate date, and maybe even older QExpo hosters.. that can be the Real Thing!

That would be much appreciated. I wonder how much traffic we'll get? With Q2 involved it might be much more than previous years...

What's wrong with that? You could have a webpage somewhere else, but link to some files hosted at my site. File hosting is file hosting... _________________ woh... feelin woozy... too much cider... http://entar.quakedev.com

One the hand you are right, it might work that way. But on the other hand the QExpo files might do huge traffic and this is something all the free webhosters hate. They would delete your free webspace without turning a hair And since your hoster offers "up to 500MB of user bandwidth per month for all non-premium users, so long as it is being used in a proper manner" (Link) this maximum would be reached VERY soon. Just imagine some map, maybe 2.5mb. 200 poeple might download it in a month then, that's much too few!

Would be nice to have a torrent tracker to all files, and some seeds, so we try to download using bit torrent first, and if it fails, we use the links.... _________________ #EOP

I'd agree to that, 500mb wouldn't be enough. Lunkin's Journey is currently 30mb, and will probably end up at 40mb. With all the desperate people dying to download it, even fileplant itself will crumble when it's released. Indeed the whole internet my collapse.
