i don't know about numbers, but plan9.bell-labs.com has
been slashdotted a few times and not fallen over.

when we put up the 4e distribution, we got really
hammered, but by many large downloads rather
than many many small downloads.  the bottleneck
turned out to be the connection to the file server.
now we keep all the distribution files in a (large) ramfs
cache.
