Basically i just use their templates and start uploading content,then seed and leech and the free host does all the other programming stuff required.

So you want someone else to pay for the server, do all the coding, do all the design work, and take 100% of all risk associated with running the thing? And you want it for free?
It aint gonna happen.

Your best bet is to find a tracker that allows user uploads and just upload anything you have there.

The OP was confused enough with a pure PHP script, how will throwing a c++ backend into the mix help there?

What tracker source? TBDev is well known to require power on a server once you get above a thousand or so members. Even at just a couple of hundred, you can bring the average shared hosting server to its knees.
That's why most people wont recommend shared hosting for more than the first month or so.
