"Currently I run a file hosting service with controlled growth."

Why do you do this ... that is, run a file hosting service for 130 people ? Is it a friends and family IT enabler sort of thing that you do to be nice ?

Or is there some kind of business here that I can't envision ?

Yep, it's a friends and family thing. Often friends of friends. Anyone who gets to know me a little bit can get an account. Since growth is controlled, costs are low. Since users are expected to donate, that completely stops being a concern.

The world is a smaller place than it seems. I've noticed this site having a measurable impact on the web around me, and lots of files that might have disappeared are sticking around now (23,946 of them, in fact).
