I was thinking of hosting it in the netherlands since this seems to be the place where I'll have the least amount of issues. I was wondering if there's anything I'm missing? I was also wondering is it illegal to index content if you don't provide direct access to the content?
Netherlands have had their fair share of court cases, especially when it comes to newzbins or usenets or whatever the fook it's called - one I recall instantly was the direct hoster of the content being successfully sued. Im not sure to what extent the legality of indirectly hosting content is, but UK sites have been prosecuted before, notably TVlinks. IMO you're in the same boat as every other warez board or torrent site out there.
Go for a Spanish host - P2P, for now atleast, is a legitimate activity there, and it seems like most other spanish speaking nations couldn't give a fly f*ck about P2P either.
Get domain/whois privacy.
Install truecrypt [shouldn't impact much, just make sure you have a decent amount of processing power to begin with] and in the event your server is confiscated, they should have nothing on you.
