the best alternative I've found: Streamload...

1 problem with it though... it costs $$$

it's $7.95/month for 3GB/month of d/l

But after you sign up you can go to various movie trading places and people will beam you movies and then you d/l them from your account. Beaming is instant (or close to) beaming is just the transfering of links to someones account. You see streamload holds a central server of media files, and I can upload any media file to them. Then after I've put it on their server I can send links to anyone I want to. So there is only 1 copy of the file but lots of links to it. Then you d/l the movie from your account. The nice thing is streamload allows multiple logins during d/l meaning if you use DAP or flashget you can max out your connection... so a 600mb movie takes 1.5hours instead of 22hours. But like I said it comes with the small problem of paying every month. If you wanna sign up I'll beam you a bunch of movies (~150 of them), just e-mail me with the account name you sign up with: milhouse_ph@hotmail.com

I'll also let you in on the sites that allow trading.
