With respect to the issue of bandwidth for a potential hosting site, the following direct quote (slightly edited by me for germaine content) from one of the iTools message board moderators should be helpful:
*/
"If an iTools website receives more than 500 hits in a six-hour period, the user is limited to roughly 2x their iDisk capacity through-put in that six-hour period.
iTools users who have upgraded their iDisk capapcity will have additional bandwidth. If an upgraded user's website receives FEWER than 500 hits in a six-hour period, the user is limited to roughly 14x their iDisk capacity in that six-hour period. If an upgraded user's website receives MORE than 500 hits within a six-hour period, the user is limited to 2.5x their iDisk capacity in that six-hour period.
When these limitations are exceeded, that iTools user's website will be disbabled for a period up to, but not greater than 12 hours. The limits stated here are subject to change without notice."

In short, the number of hits is what they look for; and anything beyond what they give you (depending on the size you select for your iDisk) will cause at best a dockage of your bytes-transferred limit and at worst a temporary shut-down of your site. The fact that this has caused some consternation amongst some Mac.com website users, however, is kinda beside the point.
The 64 Zillion Gajillion Dollar Question is this: Laboring under the suposition that I upgrade to the maximum allowable 1000 Meg (just about 1 GB) on my iDisk, would this be enough to deal with whatever amount of traffic you would expect on a day-to-day basis?
Also (on a slight tangent):
I *will* be making a .zip/.sit package today containing the material I promised to deliver.
