Any good/cheap CDNs?

I need to distribute software (legit software) for a game maker client. Requirements:
~200GB of storage space (162GB currently used)
10TB of transfer per month ++
Many of the files are 2GB in size, .cab files.

cloudflare free plan?
KeyCDN is $0.04/GB - so $400/mo for bandwidth + whatever their storage fees are for push zones.
If you want to do it on the cheap, hit up @Francisco - get a storage VPS plan with them in each location they offer (Vegas, New Jersey & Luxembourg) and use their free anycast goodness to serve it up. 3x $15/mo plans should do it (500GB storage & 5TB BW on each) http://buyvm.net/storage-vps/
how much is your budget?
Cheaper than the competition

Why aren't you the smart one? CloudFlare doesn't host the files for you, which isn't what the OP wants.
I like MaxCDN + BuyVM. The Anycast service from @Fransisco is great (I'm not going to lie), but MaxCDN has more POPs, so I use a pull zone from MaxCDN back to Fransisco
Does your site justify to use a cdn? Does it make money?
What's the budget
? We'll be happy to help too!

He means actual hosting.

Serve it straight out of the object storage.
Storage 500GB - $9.80, this will give you 2TB of transfer (the landing page is not updated yet). Add some additional transfer and you you're probably talking about $30/month.
You upload your files using standard S3 tools eg s3cmd, s3explorer, transmit etc, you can make the file public or make it an authenticated read if you want the users to have one-time usage downloads or authenticated downloads.
Customers download using native http/https, you don't have to concern yourself with scaling it.
Where is your most of the traffic comes from ?? Asia, EU or US.
Are you currently using any cdn service ??
Hello,
We are using KeyCDN for our primary site, it's very reliable. They offer a trial so you can test out their network. They're on of the cheapest. Although I remember seeing one with $7/m for like 500GB bandwidth but completely forgot which company, that pricing is interesting.
If you have mostly European end users, @time4vps has generous Bundled Transfer (upto 8TB for 2TB plan).
They are very cheap currently with promotional yearly pricing. (96 euros for 2years)
(seeing 200mbps egress to Amsterdam and OVH france DCs from @time4vps)
BuyVM also has lots of bundled transfer on their storage KVM plans.
But you'd probably be fine with less expensive OpenVZ NAS offers for just serving static files.
MaxCDN the most performant CDN, so you'll be better using it.
What is "cheap" to you?
Well if you cannot pay you can create you own cdn with vpss on diferent locations.
I'd recommend KeyCDN. They support pull and push zones, as well, you can use your own SSL certificate or LetsEncrypt at no extra cost (unless you want to have it with more than one zone alias per zone). Also, make sure your files are 100% virus free (including no false positives) cause they can kick you out for it.
I am currently using CDNSun, which is a reseller of a large whitelabel CDN service. It's Ukrainian and the backend is pretty good. The main draw for me over KeyCDN was push with an API. SFTP was too slow for me since I am pushing directly from a created object to the CDN and did not wish to host a pull zone.
It's pretty cheap and they have a lot of features too. But if I didn't need that, KeyCDN for sure.
