According to TOS :

7.) Resource Usage

Users may not initiate the following:

a) Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.

b) Run any type of interactive real-time chat applications that require server resources. Remotely-hosted services are fully allowed.

c) Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.

d) Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.

e)Run any bit torrent

f) Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1492, etc

I understand that part, but thats not what I want to do. I simply want to host the 1kb files (only a few) for people to download. The Bittorrent trackers etc is nothing to do with what I want.

Thanks anyway!

Short answer - no.

If you wish to offer files for download by others, then simply upload them to your server and offer the link.
