We try to keep restrict bandwidth usage to projects development (and
not projects usage). The current bandwidth we have is fine. I do not
think it's really high (hum, actually, what is considered high?) but
the usage increase and it would be problematic if month by month we
have to pay increasing extra charges. 

I do not really know exactly how much we consume, as I've got only
stats for the whole switch we use, which seems to be used by others
computers (Jaime or Loic could surely give more details).

You can get an overview of our current box at
https://savannah.gnu.org/phpsysinfo/

Another important point: this is an IBM cluster, does this box run only
Free Software? Is it acceptable to ask this? If not, we would be
contradicting our own policies, which would be unwise I think.
(I realise that the answer of this question may be obvious, but I
prefer askin just in case)
