IMHO the best way would be to get on the mirrors list of some universities 
like many bigger open source projects do.
Or some companies could sponsor some traffic, like already done for the TER 
mirrors?!?

Looking at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/typo3/files/stats/timeline?dates=2013-01-01%20to%202013-08-28

We already had >420.000 downloads this year. With an average files size of 
50MB this is an estimated traffic of 21TB.
This estimated is a big too big, but should not be that far off. Also I do 
not know for sure how much traffic Neos and Flow generate.

Best regards
