| Just don't TELL your ISP that you're hosting files.

Common sense would tell you an ISP would block port 80 if they have something to lose. Which they do, they normally also supply websites. So by you hosting your own http you are taking money away from them in the form of you need an ISP and you need a webhost, which they happily provide.
If they blocked that port for any other reason, common sense would dictate they would also block any port for P2P, torrents, file sharing, ftp, ssh, IRC hosting. But they don't. You can't tell me the average torrent user doesn't use up more bandwidth downloading and uploading files than a webserver does, so it's not a bandwidth issue. You would have to agree that money is the cause for the blockage.
EDIT, I was way wrong in that statement. A quick google of my host turns up this tidbit, but other than the worm thing the rest holds no water.

Which if the reason is traffic, I think they would be having a shitfit right about now, considering I do nearly 200 gigs worth of uploading per month.

ACTA will never happen. If it does it means that big corporations run countries, which is not really news we all knew this anyway.
