How much bandwidth would I need for...

If moving a YahooGroup to a proper, self-hosted forums (not one of the add sponsered mega-board services out there), how much bandwidth would I need? Disk space I can kinda figure, but bandwidth? Phhht...

-low graphic forums
-400 participants visiting on average twice a day
-perhaps 1 low resolution image a week
-limited size avatar files (Not sure what the limit will be yet, but no sparkling 400x800 signature files!

Any ballpark figures folks could suggest?

Thanks!

quite hard to tell, how big is an average forum page and how many pages does each user view per day!

You could just try a cheap host like One (http://www.one.com), i use them to host my forum with 30000+ members and it's unlimited bandwidth so i don't really have to worry about that.

you could try hostsnake.com they give you a free 20gb of storage space and 300gb of bandwidth free
