> One crawler downloaded 73 TB of zipped HTML files in May 2024 [...] This cost us over $5,000 in bandwidth charges
I had to do a double take here. I run (mostly using dedicated servers) infrastructure that handles a few hundred TB of traffic per month, and my traffic costs are on the order of $0.50 to $3 per TB (mostly depending on the geographical location). AWS egress costs are just nuts.
