This doesn't look like an intentional upgrade... Furthermore, my friend ALSO has this, in fact, he brought it to my attention. What should I do? Ignore it?

It's real. Check out the new DH homepage (and let the "pop-up" show) 
I bet the September Newsletter will make all clear "pretty soon now".

Lord, I'm glad they upped it. I was using a massive 1% of diskspace and 0% of bandwidth.
I was afraid I was going to get charged for overage soon. Thanks Dreamhost!

Yes. I do believe it is for real. It is in this months newsletter and it is a bit early for april fools jokes. I currently have a massive 396GB of disk (increasing at 2GB/wk) and 4192GB of bandwidth (increasing at 32GB/wk) showing in my control panel. Dang. I have a site alloted to 650GB which is actually a mirror (one of many) for the cygwin project and they were using 50% of my bandwidth before. What the heck am I going to do now? At best I would be able to use 15% right now.

Don't say the name cygwin!
Oh my God, the pain, make it go away.
(Seriously, my problem was trying to install the KDE environment - Linux - on Win XP for web development and that puppy would just NOT install. Not in 3 days. Not with sleeping beside my computer. It was... an emotionally scarring experience.)

Both KDE and Gnome are both very difficult to install properly. You must follow their instructions very exactly for it to work right. Even then it might not work. That is why they are not part of the main distribution if those developers ever wanted it to be part of it. I do not mirror those packages at all yet. Also when you do get it to work it is very slow due to the intermediate layer. It might almost be easier and faster to use colinux if you need access to KDE in windows.
