There are two things wrong.
1. I do not belive that most clients realy rune 24 hours, I think that 
they are more often restarted.
2. Spezial the server.met wich is an portable format is downloaded by 
more than only mlDonkey
- eMule / ed2k_gui direct support adding http urls for download them.
- wget is another often used source for download or mirroring

because of this facts i think that the met file is more often downlaoded 
than the rest of the config files.
There are may free webspace with 10MB Storage and about 2-5 GB or even 
unlimited traffic. Wich are
financed by comercial adverts wich may be used for this files.

It depends on the other requests and how the server is optimized.
Mean around 1 request per second. BUT if i look at my own server.met 
wich is 125kb
This mean 3,8GB extra traffic per Month wich is here in Germany around 20EUR
And this for only one project.

I informed the other project developers so that they also do stop using 
the files from this server.
