As I understand it, worse case scenario would give you the minimum number of
visitors you can have:

40 GB divided by (size of all the pages, generated or static + size of all
the images + anything else a single visitor could download to his computer).

- or -

if typical surfer can download at 56.6 Kbps, he would need around 70 days to
download 40 GB of data. If the longest visit you have ever had was X
minutes, you may assume that min. number of visitors you can have is

70 * 24 * 60 / X.

You cannot be precise here, but, for the sake of discussion, bandwidth is
split into upload and download part. There is some data visitors send to
you. You can easily determine the ratio between the two by looking at DUN
status. My indicator says "Sent: 63.580", "Received: 352.579", so download
is 85%. You would calculate with 40 * 0.85 GB bandwidth.
