It's not a bad idea to have teams host the manual the first week but if you do, please commit to removing it after the first update.

I posted links in a few places last year with the disclaimer: "After the first week these rules may no longer be entirely accurate, I hold no responsibility for not keeping up with rule updates."
Last year over week 1 we went through 30GB of bandwidth with 30,000 page hits and 10,000 file transfers on the manual, so I think keehun & I will host it again this year.
The attached pictures are the data for kickoff day, the first is general data, the second picture is the number of times each file was downloaded
EDIT: I want to say save as in most pdf viewers can remove encryption too, if I host the documents on kickoff I will unencrypt them for ease of use, I would prefer you save them to a computer rather than repeatedly downloading.
