What are the bandwidth limits for sharing high-traffic files of large size?
I'll be uploading a zip to Dropbox within the next few days that is ~900MB-1GB. Within the first week it should see around 200-300 downloads, and in the first day possibly 100. While I'll have mirror...

Super User IIDropbox probably wont work for you here I'm afraid as you are very likely to get banned with that volume of data being used: https://help.dropbox.com/share/banned-links
Dropbox isnt a content distribution system I'm afraid and as such does have very strict limits on it. The only plan which would probably work would be a Business one, but you would need 3 licences for it.
To also add that if a bandwidth restriction does occur you cannot remove it or have it cancelled, it will stay in place until its over - this is 24 hours for the first one and longer each time after. The other thing to just point out is it is a rolling 24 hours which can cause issues as well as it isnt like it automatically resets at a set point each day.
