    That depends on wether your looking to host a public or private site. A lot of sites I use Moxie Hosting so check that out.

    Will you be hosting the actual files or just links to torrents where they're available?

    I doubt your isp will let you do that using your comp as a server and reckon most web hosts wont allow it either.

    Theres plenty of that stuff about already.

    Find a dropshipper and make money! if you wanna start a website.

    His ISP wont know i dont think, i mean i had account on my server for people to download off, i had it going through SSL Explorer, it was really hard to set up coz of AOL and my Router, but AOL did not stop me, and i bet they knew what i was uploading to people too.

    Use a website like megaupload.com or turboupload.com and host your file there. They will provide you a link to the file...Email that link to your friends so that they can download it.
