I have to agree with others who are saying a torrent would be an excellent download option.
The only issue is to start this torrent you would need several people to initial seeders, which means they need the files ahead of time. Then, once people begin to complete their own downloads, we would need them to continue to seed for a little while (doesnt have to be too long, but the more you seed the more you help everyone else) to ensure everyone can get the files. The last issue is once the initial rush of donloads subsides, you need to have a way to ensure the files continue to be seeded, or else the torrent will no longer be able to distribute the files.
At the very least though, a torrent should be utilized along side a dedicated download. Or, better yet, make a torrent the only way to get the files for say the first week or so. After this period of time, make the download available, whether that be through AAA host or an outside host.
As far as limiting sig sizes, go for it. Common size limitations I've seen are 450W x 100H to 500W x 150H.
