Do we have stats to show the breakdown of bandwidth usage?  Eg static=20
web content, forums, official rockbox release downloads, nightly build=20
downloads, source control (ie git repos), and more nebulous=20
"infrastructure" (eg build system C&C, translation tools, and so forth)

the right approach is to mark all of the existing topics/etc as=20
