nxt can host bittorrent files. only issue is the nxt fee required to do the upload.
now the question is what is the incentive for uploaders to pay a fee to give away files?
if there was a service or even a nxt whale to kickstart this movement by paying all the fees for uploaders, it can possibly go somewhere.

You better go on the Nxtforum and ask people overthere that know how to use the Nxt API.
I strongly recommand you do so, initially datacloud was designed for uploading torrent and magnet in mind. Nxt Datacloud could be the backbone of such a website.

I actually have a nxt wallet and have used data cloud, but my big issue is how to host this from a regular site. Or how to search for the metada withing the Datacloud.
So for example usually the info for a torrent can be simple, like just having the filename and the magnet or it can include a lot of metadata:

So the issue is how can I get the series of Zoo, I guess we would need some sort of index, that can parse a structured dataset like a json and scrap it into a search interface.ettv - ExtraTorrent TV Shows

Yes, it is possible to use the datacloud feature of NXT.
