Dear friends...

I am a boob to vB as I have been using PHPbb and IPB. But this time I want to go higher and be secure in all the ways possible for my forums and for the community that I plan to run. I want to do everything right from the starting so that my place doesnt gets slow as the traffic grows. Plz help me in making a right decision as its always better to ask before i plunge into something that I dont know about. Basically my forums are for P2P File Sharing namely BitTorrents, ED2K, Ares & BrTurbo Downloads. So here it goes:

vBulletin:
I want to have a VB forum. But i cannot make up my mind whether i should be using a leased licesnce or an Owned Lic. At the very moment, i cannot afford an owned lic. But if i choose a leased lic, will there be any limitation on accessing the files and stuff like that. But i am sure that within 3 months I will be getting a full VB Lic. So plz help me out here..

Hosting:
I have inquired with many hosting companies, but they dont allow a Torrent Tracker to run on their servers as it might drink all of ther bandwidth and they advice me to get a dedicated server of which I dont know a thing. Plz advice a hosting solution which is not hosted in the USA and the one that is reliable and cheap. So I am looking for a place where I can good bandwidth at cheaper rates. But as the place will grow, so will my requirements. Any thoughtfull advice on this is welcome.

Stuff that I plan to put:
I will having a

* Torrent Tracker
* An Image Gallery where users can upload images
* A Blog/Journal where users can add their blog/journal
* An Arcade
* A chat room (Not planning for an IRC chat at the moment)
* ED2K Link generator
* Ares
* A Radio Station (most probably an already online radio station with plenty of channels from where the user can listen to the music or a talkshow of their choice)

This is all at the moment, but I will be adding some new stuff as the need grows. You advice is highly a requirement for me as you all are THE MASTERS.

Thanx n Regards...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
