Regarding the aaaa map database, If the database will be common used for downloads your traffic will raise significantly and have an impact on the gameservers running on your dedi.
Remember theres only a single network stack all traffic is routed through, everyone with slow inet downloading youtube hd video and trying to game will confirm that ping goes through the roof.
More traffic won't be good and leave your server owners unhappy and it may happen that the base of aaaa will break away.
Soooooooo, recently checked my stuff and noticed I still have an unsed server which I was about to give back, but ...... seeing this map serving need now I would like to sponsor this server on behalf of that.
It would allow map downloads with high speed in no time and also possible allow to serve other community stuff like e.g. mohaa teamspeak server and should have enough resources to add more if things needed. The server has currently 20GB space but I should be able to raise it to 50GB.
What I would ask for in turn is a separate donate button and a "sponsored by scapp.net" for this matter though. (fyi: server is 120Euro/year)
Server is high quality with protection and alot of extra stuff. Only disadvantage is, server is linux, well some will see this as an advantage, but I definatly dont belong to this group haha
. Server is currently running fresh opensuse 12.1 but can be changed to other nixes
I won't have time to help with setup (except getting a teamspeak licence) so best bet is to recruit someone with the linux knowledge getting his hands dirty (own3mall ? someone else ?)
