Last month's transfer (if everyone who clicked the link finished the DL) would have been more than $100 on S3. Its just a hobby. I really was hoping not to spend much if anything on it.

You can mark items in S3 as requester pays, which means you don't get hit for bandwidth.

  (1) TOS for his home connection may forbid offering services. (Yes, he could pay more but ....) (2) the hassle of running a server. (3) he may not have much upload bandwidth, which translates to slow downloads by other people.

Depending on where you are, but: OVH is known to offer dedicated servers with very generous bandwidth allotments for very little money. E.g. their Dutch budget brand http://www.isgenoeg.nl http://www.isgenoeg.nl offers a basic server with 5TB, then 10Mbps bandwidth for EUR 15/month, and their UK http://www.kimsufi.co.uk/ http://www.kimsufi.co.uk/ is similar. (No personal experience, offer seems valid for nationals only, WebHostingTalk suggests there's little support, OVH apparently change their upstream providers all the time to get the best possible deals - you get a lot of bandwidth but latency varies from day to day. Seems acceptable for a simple file server.)
