DC++ fileshareing server

Before I go on and tell you my problem, i have to say that filesharing is LEGAL. Now, on to the problem:

I want to make a DC++ home file server to free my desktop from this job.
Now I see high CPU usage when there are many connections (even when all of them run under 30kB/s).
The speed of the download/upload does not affect CPU load as much.

The new server should run 24/7 for sharing files through Direct Connect DC++ and Bit Torrent (down 40/upload 40 connections ~ at 15kB/s bandwith).
it should also be able to serve 5-6 files locally (100Mb/s).

Having a server i would add small PostGRE & Oracle databases, ftp & web daemons.

My Questions:
1) Biggest of them all: I thought this would be a multi user scenario. Is It?

2) Would SATAII NCQ/SAS improve network performance? I have never seen DC++ or torrents in multiuser scenarios, probably because it is hard to reproduce the same conditions several times. I just want an educated guess.
What about dual core/ dual cpu?

EDIT: I have deleted the other copy thread!
 
Its easier to create a NAS (network attached storage) server and share out a folder with all your media on a local network. It will be much faster.
