In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of donating unused bandwidth from a personal website to a larger website to help with bandwidth usage. However, it is not possible to transfer or donate bandwidth. One member mentions having a large amount of unused bandwidth on their personal domain, which costs $15 per month.

how much ...

seriously, how much bandwidth is used up every month? is it possible to allocate some of that bandwidth elsewhere?

ie...PF.com and a member has his own website with xxx bandwidth each month. the member hardly uses any of his bandwidth, and maybe could somehow "donate" that bandwidth?

PF goes through on average 15-20gig per month. Unfortunately, bandwidth donating just isn't possible.
