hi. Yes, it would be worth yor time to download one. My suggestion is invisionboard. It takes about 10mb space for a small board, a bit more as size and # posts/members increase.
Also recommended often are http://www.phpbb.com/ and http://www.xmbforum.com/ . There are other good free ones as well, but I can't recall the names...
Don't bother trying a perl/flatfile database board like Ikonboard or Yabb. Free and Paid hosts alike have banned them because they hog resources big time. The PHP/MySQL varieties listed above are far better, and with GZIP compression, they use very little bandwidth (in comparison). As for space, I think 50 MB space and 5 GB/month bandwidth should be good for a medium sized board. Some hosts (like http://www.myacen.com) will allow you to upgrade your hosting whenever you want, and you just pay the difference between the plans. That way, if you pay for a year for Package 2, and after 6 months you are pushing the bandwidth limit, you can upgrade to Package 3, and you just pay the difference between the plans for the remaining 6 months.

If you want, try WBB2. The wbbmods.com site is stunningly beautiful, and you might want it.
WBB2 is $60 or $80 it isn't much better than 1.0 and 1.0 is free
