We're actually in the process of working out a policy to address these
issues. The current *suggested* proposal is the following:
Per-file size limit:
commercial products > 100MB
non-commercial products > 500MB
The reasoning behind this is that commercial products typically have
resources and funding behind them to offer a fairly robust downloading
experience to their users meaning we can avoid mirroring them ourselves
without impacting our user base to a significant degree. non-commercial
products often don't have the same resources available to them, so we would
continue to mirror all but the largest files in that case. (currently,
there are no non-commercial products in our tree that would be affected by
this cap limit)
Thoughts?
