If you haven’t used BitTorrent, you should try it out. It’s meant for large file distribution and the more users downloading concurrently, the faster it is for everyone as they each upload (to the swarm of peers) as well!

I’ll highly recommend that you use it legitimately. It’s not really safe or legal otherwise, and the more it’s improperly used the more ISP’s try to block it as their the ones responsible/liable!

I use it to download Open Source Linux distributions, as well as Open Source Media, such as Public Domain Torrents.

To see a picture of me downloading Fedora 9, peep (note how many computers mine was downloading/uploading with):
