Creating a personal torrent site?

Creating a personal torrent site?
Is this viable... or even worth the effort.
A few of my mates were wondering if it would be viable to setup a hosted site which simply holds files (movies, music, software, etc). The idea that only friends/family have access and can upload/download/share.
My main concern is bandwidth, legality, etc.
Any advice?

As long as no copyrighted stuff is involved, there should be no problem. Illegal files are a different matter, and with the current crackdown on internet pirates taking place, I'm not sure why anyone would even contemplate hosting stuff. A surefire way of being slapped on the wrist by mr plod

A lot of torrent sites being shut down. Internet police chasing hosters and handing out big fines. People being "banned" from the interweb etc...

I run a few tracker sites myself and even have a uTorrent client sharing files on the same VPS, the files are legal so I haven't had any trouble.
I use a basic tracker site template callet RivetTracker from here RivetCode Software

You will be fine aslong as you host everything in Sweden, if not then I would leave well alone.
But if it is all password protected (i,e for each of the users of which you can guarantee their identity) you would also be fine.
