They want you to store podcasts or other media files on their server instead of saving bandwidth and resources by offering it as a .torrent download."
"From HostGator’s Terms of Service: "Please note that you may link to torrents off server, but may not host or store them."
One of the benefits of offering media files for download via BitTorrent is that it takes the load off the server and decreases the chance of your site becoming inaccessible due to excessive bandwidth consumption.
Apparently HostGator doesn’t care, they want you to just store your podcasts, videos and other media files on their server instead of saving bandwidth by offering it as a .torrent file."
