Hmm.. this seems to be about a few thousand requests per day that CF is doing.

How much can those cost him? Not more than a few pennies per month, right?

He could just stop using CloudFlare if he does not like it.

Calling it an "attack" is a bit much.

One of the example requests is to a 27MB .webm file; videos could get pretty expensive with AWS bandwidth charges.

He says it's hundreds of gigabytes of traffic. I don't know the prices but sounds more than a few pennies
