Ideally, I want to obtain files anywhere in the world, but without having to download them.  I also want the easiest and fastest solution.  Thanks.

I had the same need but I took a slightly different approach.  After some thought, I determined the following:\n\n- I didn't need all of my files all the time but rather I only needed a core subset of files all the time and then some other files depending up on what I was doing at that time.\n- I always travel with either my phone or some other device which can store information.  Sometimes I have a pda or an ipod-like device or laptop.\n- I was not completely thrilled with the idea of having all of my information on some server out there on the internet.  I am comfortable with the level of security which currently exists but I've learned not to trust it fully and to remain a little bit cautious.\n- Backing up files (or archiving files) OR making all of my files available, were two different scenarios and so I didn't need to solve these at the same time.  I could pick and choose the best of breed way to solve these separately.\n\nSo, here is what I decided to do:\n\n1. Backing-Up/Archiving old files: These are files which I wasn't planning on using anymore but which I didn't want on my hardrives.  I realized that I will have this need for as long as I live :) so I purchased an external DVD Burner and started to burn my files to DVD's which I then kept in a safe place.  There are others options you can use here (e.g. separate external harddrives, a zip/jazz drive etc) but I decided on the external DVD since they are pretty inexpensive in most every way.\n\n2. Sensitive/personal information I want accessible all the time: I decided that I would put this information on whatever device I was carrying with me at the time.  For instance, I would sync my home computer with my smartphone and/or my laptop and have that info on it (e.g. contacts, calendar info, documents, music etc).  If I needed a little more space and didn't want to bring my laptop, I would use a portable USB drive which are pretty huge these days.  I've also heard that there may be ways to put information (other then songs/vids) onto ipod-like devices and so I would consider doing that as well.  The mindset here is that there is no safer place to keep that stuff then by my side, in my ear, on my wrist, in my pocket etc.\n\n3. Everything else: For all other files which I didn't think were too sensitive or personal, I use an online storage service like xdrive.  This is not free and so I might investigate some of the other free services to see if they work for me.  Again, since I am not overly protective about these files and I am confident that the current state of security is good enough, I will be ok with just about anything.\n\n4. What about just remotely accessing my home computer in a secure way?  I've used this approach for many situations when I was not at home in front of my computer and it has worked out very well.  The service I use is GoToMyPC.  This approach holds the most promise for how I see myself interacting with my information/files wherever I may be and from whatever device.  With that said, there are some things you need to set up and have running in order to use this and this service is also not free.  Also, since these types of services are still fairly new, they may not yet be battle hardened enough...but they are getting there.  I recommend you take a look to at least familiarize yourself with it and if you can try it out, definitely do.  You may find it to be the right answer for you.  Another to look at is FolderShare.  I haven't tried this yet but am looking into it.\n\nKeep in mind:  Security is not 100%...don't forget what you know.\n\nGood luck!\n\nDVD Burner Buyers guide: http://reviews.cnet.com/Drives_&_burners/4520-7613_7-5135505.html?tag=dir\nPDA info: http://reviews.cnet.com/Handhelds/2001-3127_7-0.html?tag=otgfd.hnd\nPortable USB Drives: http://reviews.search.com/search?q=usb+drive&nodeid=3240&format=customlayout&channel=54&cat=312&mode=products&allfields=0&k=25748383\nxdrive: http://ww

All that matters for downloading anything over the Internet is your connection type and speed, not what file format you use.\n\nIf you want to download movies faster than 2 hours per movie, the only possible option would be to go to your local library or any other place in your area that provides a WAN or LAN wireless network for free within itself.\n\nI know my local library has this service, and wireless is far faster than broadband and even DSL, so that would be your best or only bet.

Downloading from anywhere is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Even using a web browser is included because it downloads every page you view.

Use a file sharing network other than Bit Torrent. An application such as BearShare for instance.
