As part of a gaming clan, one service I currently offer with my existing host (with no problems) is a facility to allow users joining our gaming server to be re-directed to my web site to download the maps they do not currently have installed.

If you are familiar with ‘Call of Duty 4′, there are maps created by the user community that are freely distributable, and the game has the functionality of detecting whether the game player has the map installed already, and if not, the ability to direct the user to the map file on another site (in this case, my site) where they can automatically download and install the map so they can join the game. These maps typically average 35 Mb, so they are not large files.

My concern, and the clarification I am seeking, is regarding the TOS reference to file sharing/peer-to-peer activities.

7a.) Resource Usage
f) Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities

This is in no way illegally offering copywrited material or distribution outside that specified by the creator. There are no uploading/hosting/downloading dynamics other that what I control by uploading static files via FTP. I am in no way running any game or server-side process. This is strictly a download of a file to the end-user.

I fully understand the limitation on bandwidth, and have never approached even 10% of the maximum allowed bandwidth for the Baby plan with my current host. I have pre-screened this activity with one of your phone reps, and was told it was permitted, but I wanted to double-check with the forum representatives before I make a decision.

Please let me know if there are any issues I might encounter with this process or any additional information or questions I can answer, to make sure I will not violate the TOS. I really hope this is not an issue, as I have spent a lot of time researching web hosting companies, and have found HostGator to be the best company out there!
