Serving User Downloads

Would it be advisable to serve user downloads from my PythonAnywhere storage? Or would creating a separate S3 bucket be a better idea?

Just depends on your number of users and the size of the downloads I guess.

My guess is if you are serving a file that is in the GB range and/or need to deal with thousands+ of concurrent downloads, then you should definitely create a separate S3 bucket.

Historically, we have not had any issues with bandwidth.
