700MB is just enough to store a DVD-Rip of a smaller movie, or many adult films. Go with the later, and I guarantee ATOT will use up your 120GB for you.:p

What the heck is top gear? Fill me in...

A British automotive review/editorial program. A member in England caps it each week then uploads for everyone who doesn't get the BBC to watch.

120gb won't cut it for the top gear hosting. He maybe able to host it for a day.

120GB will help. With ~250MB eps, we flood one person. Get a handful of people and they won't drown.

Its gotta be something worthwhile for people to download to be worthwhile. For instance, I have an private FTP with around 100GB of data and there was only 140GB of data transfered, although the download/upload ratio is about 1:1. It will take something worth downloading to even the 120gb transfer you it.
