Chris: why don't you just set up a Bittorrent feed for it?  When we'll 
all start fetching it then the bandwidth will increasingly be shared 
amongst all interested people.

Well, it doesn't really help Chris. All the data will end up starting from 
him anyway. 

Sure, but I was under the impression this wasn't the problem.  Given 
what Chris said:

|I don't have access to any servers that I could drop a 3GB packfile

And then David said:

|if nobody else steps forward I can arrange something like this on my 
|home server (only 768K updtream bandwidth, but it's better then 
|nothing)

So it looks like the server was the main issue here.

Once it's uploaded anywhere, we've got people willing to mirror it 
infinitely ..

Has this been set up with Chris already?
