Good point, I should update the donation page!

Memory use has been the big issue, rather than traffic. It seems like solr uses RAM proportional to disk space to run well (1-2x maybe?), so I've hit limits as I grow the index, but I'm still figuring that out.

Once I made it so you can search closed captions, and see what time in the video matched, the index started getting bigger a lot faster (that is timings + caption, and a non-timed version of the transcript).
