I don't know. That said, I have bt'ed isos and moved pix around. Not
constant, but a decent amount. You can throttle the up and w/ video if
you do flash (ala youtube) the bandwidth isn't much per stream and you
can set the max connections. 

Of course I believe you would be in violation of TOS, but that is
separate. 

Business accounts are 99$ (I believe) and I don't think there is a
limit on them.
