It's actually not. You use your 1Gb fiber at Eclipse for only a few
seconds here and there. 95% and more of large downloads are handled by
mirrors for free -- the rest is small transit for us (lots of it, mind you).

And yes, we must readjust from time to time. The alternative is to pay
unnecessarily (we have size and reach, but we are a not-for-profit
foundation, not a multi-zillion corporation). Our 1Gb colo is dedicated,
redundant and highly available. The 1Gb consumer fiber is single-point
and shared.
