The site that is easiest to download large files from is Megaupload. As long as each part of the file is under 1 gigabyte in size, anyone can download them for free. The download speeds are often very fast (over 1 megabyte per second is common), and you can download 1 file right after the other with no waiting in between (until you surpass the total download limit, which varies from day to day, but is often 3-5 gigabytes at one time, then you have to wait a few hours and can start downloading again).

So, for example, let's say you have a restored dual-layer DVD version of Star Wars that is 8.2 Gigabytes in size. That could be uploaded in a 9 part .rar file, Star Wars.part1.rar, Star Wars.part2.rar, etc. The first 8 parts would be 950 megabytes each (this size can be easily set in winrar when making a multi-part .rar archive) and the last 9th part of the file would be whatever size was left over, in this case, about 600 megabytes. The first 3-7 files could be downloaded one after the other at very high speeds (download limits vary day to day, probably based on how heavy the load on the servers is that day), then you'd get a message that you've download X amount and you need to wait roughly 2 or 3 hours. So, you just wait a few hours, then download the other files. If you have a fast connection, you could download the whole thing in not many hours at all, and it's all free even at those high speeds. :) It's much much faster than Rapidshare.

By the way, never put Star Wars or ANH in the file name, so the files won't be taken down, just use some non-obvious acronym. Like LTREP4V1.part1.rar (LeeThorogood's Restored Episode 4 Version 1). :)
