Hosting the files, when they drop off the front page or what ever (IE 2 weeks after putting them up) we'd no longer need to host them, so bandwidth (or server space) wouldn't be too much of an issue.

Ahhhhhh OK - so it'd be an all you can eat situation for about 2 weeks + then the file goes offline? Maybe that's when BT can come into play?
Also, maybe instead of a time limit we could implement a limit on the amount of downloads per file until it is moved offline? This would help more with budgeting for how much bandwidth would cost...

The + for BT is it's cheaper, the - is there's no solid back bone to begin with. HTTP 1000 people can click the link then go search in their fav P2P program and it should turn up anyhow.

Aha! Well, it sounds like a good enough reason I guess... Nothing can beat the reliability of HTTP transfers direct from something as fat as your FTP's connection... Esp when comparing to the erratic way BT + other P2P software can sometimes run...
And with the work thing, that makes sense too... People would be more likely to make use of a fast work Net connection esp if they are stuck on 56k at home still (:p to those who are! ;))... This would mean it's just a simple click + wait situation rather than having to worry about installing software + poking holes thru firewalls, etc...
The only issue with direct HTTP downloading is that (as per previous post) it would be quite easy for people to steal links + such... Would a simple download script be needed or something more in-depth like Anti-Leech? What would the cost be of Anti-Leech or similar options?

I'll count you in, and if the numbers turn up we can start talking more about content and the ways of hosting the acutal files.

one thing i havent noticed anyone talking about was actually getting the money of each person who gets in
sure it'd prolly go well for a couple of months but i feel you would start having troubles getting it each month of people untill some people just start dropping out altogether
kinda like the t-shirt idea? |

6 months up front is what i'm thinking. then @ 5 months another 6 months. That's a year which would be the hosting contract.
Once this was rolling I think more people would be enclined to join personally, but we'll see (hopefully).

EDIT: or even 3 month batches for payments |
