I had to download a file last night, and it came from this place :
http://www.filemonster.net
I've never used them before, never even heard of them, but I was pretty impressed.
The file I was downloading was just under 400mb, and as a free user it was too big for a single download, so instead the file was zipped and split into 4 pieces, 3 100mb parts and one smaller. I presume this zip and split was done on the server end, the uploader simply upped the complete file, and premium users can download it in one go.
I downloaded the first part, then had to wait 45 minutes to get the next, and so on, but the download speed was most impressive, probably the fastest download I've seen for a non-premium account in years.
Premium is pretty cheap as well, $6 for 30 days, $15 for 90 days.
Might be worth investigating more closely if people are looking for hosters still.
