You have to remember that the level of traffic these sites do is more in line of what an Industrial level hosting service would provide. This ain't no mom and pop lets run the server from the basements of a few donators.
We're talking about GB of traffic per day. Terabytes per hour on Patch Day.
Kaelten posted about this about a year ago when he closed files.wowace.com. He said donations were never enough to cover the traffic he needed. IMHO I don't think you'll find someone rich enough to afford to be able to just donate asstons of money and bandwith. And even if you did I doubt that it would be enough to cover what both of these sites go through in a month.
