I'm not a Savannah admin. I recall there being source DVDs for
GNU/Linux distros that were larger than 3GB, so the file size is
likely not a problem. The additional 3TB/week of traffic may (maybe a
Savannah admin can let you know).

Would it be possible to make a torrent file of the release, and
promote the torrent as the preferred download method? For downloads
more than about 100MB I personally always pick the torrent because
it's resistant to dropped connections or silent corruption.

Cheers,
Jan
