Outsourcing downloads?

["John Abreau-18" <user=66@nabble.blu.org>]

 I'm running into bandwidth issues on my company's ftp server, and 
it occurred to me that companies like Apple use an outside service 
like akamai.com to host their downloads. Our needs will be much 
smaller than Apple's, and akamai would probabyl be overkill for 
our needs. 

We have a small customer base, and downloads would probably be 
fairly infrequent, and wouldn't use much bandwidth per month; 
but when they occur, they need to be fast. 

What experiences have other folks here had with oursourcing 
customer file downloads? Any recommendations? 

Thanks.
