JustOn.com is the only one, but it's slow as hell cause it holds probablly about 30% of all the warez on the net.

With the others you can download but you have to use their stupid little interfaces. All of them have download limits of around 100MBs per day so don't expect a lot of allowed downloading of huge files. With IDrive, X: Drive, etc. you can set it up so your visitors can transfer your files to their online drives and that doesn't cost you any of your daily download limit. Then they can download off their drive and that takes their limited bandwidth away, not yours.

Anyway file storage devices ARE NOT the way to go.

When you say slow - how slow do you mean in terms of kb/s (bytes not bits)

I'm still on my 56k because my cable modem isn't available for about 7 more months (:(), and with most sites I get 4.5KB/s yet Sharehouse gives me 1.3KB/s at most.

I get around 45kb/s from Xoom sharehouse. Pretty much among the top of the US sites.

Cable modems are pretty new in the UK and as such they are capped at 512k.. (Roadrunner in the USA I believe is 4x this - 2mbps)
