These are just static files? You could use Google's copy of jQuery:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js";> </script> And host the rest of your files on Amazon S3. Let them worry about the scaling. Combine the plugin and the other JS file into a single .JS file and minify it.
