This would be an interesting use for Amazon S3, would you agree? The simple calculations show just how lazy I can be when posting at 3am. :) Thanks Jeff, so it’s not far off at all.

Every object in S3 has a URL of its own and can be set to be publicly readable. Regarding cost, I just did some simple calculations. Recent versions of prototype.js and scriptaculous.js weigh in at 57,396 bytes together. 17,422 dowloads would consume 1 GB of bandwidth and cost 20 cents to transfer from S3. Therefore, $1 would pay for 87,110 downloads. Hi Chad, it would be very easy to post the popular JS frameworks to Amazon S3.
