I have been on TV Shacks site to check out movies and it seems from reading posts there its best to sign up for hosting as opposed to torrents. Prices seem to be around £10 per month for 'unlimited' downloading but rather than ask for advice on TV Shack's site I would much rather recieve impartial advice from you guys.
What hosts do you use and why and are they compatible with the N900? Has anyone tried hosters such as Film Flux or Megavideo? Do you sign up for a month or a year? Is there a way I can transfer files from my PC to my N900? I tried using PC Suite but got stuck. Plus its gonna be expensive to download 750MB via 3G
I'm wary about signing up to hosting sites but would consider it if I were to get recommendations
Apart from using my N900 to watch films in my truck I would also download to my PC so I can watch wirelessly in my lounge via XBox 360.
Rapidshare is generally working fine, especially interesting for really fast internet connections. You only need to take care that you don't make several downloads from different IP addresses.
The easiest way to transfer files from your PC to your N900 is to use the USB cable. A popup should open in your phone to ask in which mode you want to use the USB. Select "Mass storage mode". Then your phone and the SD-card inserted in your phone should appear as two different mass storage devices in your operating system.

Thanks Crogge...If I sign up with Rapidshare can I still download from any site? Reason I ask is that I clicked on download (not stream) on a movie on TV Shack and I had the option of signing up with Usenet.nl to download or or free to watch now with Megavideo It did not give me an option to download from Rapidshare.
