One more (nice) way could be to run all the tested stuff (inside VMWare 
player?) on some remote X (?) server, so people should not download 
several large ISOs to test small software (instead they would upload small 
test-software packages into the server).  But I start feeling this would 
require not a less amount of bandwidth too, so YMMV. :)
