Sorry that you haven't been able to download any of the videos. I'm assuming you're using a shared internet connection of some kind, if that's the case I believe Megaupload has alternate port setting so you can use although I've never used it myself. I would upload these to another file sharing site but I keep my computer tied up uploading videos and what not for a very long period of the day already, I would like to use my computer. In terms of why I went with Megaupload, I've had the most success uploading to it over others and the file retention period is rather good for free members. In terms of download speeds, it goes a decent speed for most and the download limit is very lax for non-payers as well. If Megauploads service starts to degrade to the point of it being useless (like Rapidshare) I might consider switching file sharing sites but for the time being, I'll only be using Megaupload. Check the new section for a way around your problem for the time being.
