    I'd just stay away from it all together. Don't even try to find hosts to suggest. That could be a dangerous thing to get involved in.

    I personally wouldn't even suggest anything, friend or not. That's activity you don't want to have any involvement in, even if it was just a friendly suggestion, especially if it were to somehow link back to your professional/legitimate business.

    Yeah I agree with the others. I wouldn't host torrent files. Just give him a firm no.

    If your friend does not understand no, and why, you need a new friend. There's no reason to have a friend possibly shut down your business.

    There aren't many hosts that will allow torrent hosting. Definitely none that I know of in the US. The ones the larger sites use are typically in Russia or Eastern Europe were piracy isn't regarded as that big of a deal. However, recently some hosts have been threatened by the FBI and many of their servers seized. The administrators of the sites have been arrested. Maybe your friend may want to think twice before getting involved in a business like that.
