Re mathematical multiplication, I assume you don’t mean 3x4=12.
As it happens, I do. Depending on what you’re planning on hosting, even trying to serve “a few reasonably large files” may be unreasonably slow on a home internet connection. Divide your upload speed by the number of concurrent users you expect—that’s the theoretically maximal download speeed they can expect from your site.
Ah, fair. I have 10 Mbps nominal upload, and the files in question are a few hundred megs(so too big to pass around by things like email, but not large by the standards of the modern world). I’m not terribly worried about upload speed, if it takes five minutes.
