I mean, at this point I wouldn't mind if they rate-limit downloads. A _single_ customer downloading the same file 10.000 times? Sorry, we need to provide for everyone, try again at some other point.

It is free, yes, but there is no need to either abuse it or give as much resource for free as they can.

This. Maybe they could actually make some infra money out of this. Make token-based free tier download, pay if you break it.
