as per the Xisto Readme file:

Xisto.com's services may not be used for illegal purposes, or in support of illegal activities. Xisto.com reserves the right to cooperate with legal authorities and/or injured third parties in the investigation of any suspected crime or civil wrongdoing.

So, unless you are the copyright-holder of the downloads, the links would not be suitable.
Also in the Terms of Service:

As jlhaslip stated, your free web hosting account at Xisto cannot be used to host anything illegal, or link to it. The key part is this section of the Terms of Service:

Web sites promoting, making available or otherwise contributing to software piracy,

Regardless of whether you host the illegal material, linking to it is considered promoting and contributing to piracy. The legality of a page full of links to illegal software is currently a grey area in certain countries, but in most countries it is just as illegal as hosting the illegal software or MP3s yourself.

 

i'll resume my search for appropriate hosting

No good host would allow you to host a site like that, as they would continually be bombarded with requests to remove it. You would also be legally liable for it, as the person in charge of the site.

If you want to host copyrighted content and not get bombarded by removal requests as rvalkass said, I would recommend buying a server and moving it to a country with no copyright laws like Sweden. Otherwise, you might have to deal with some nasty legal issues if your site gets popular.
