I still use Newzbin and Usenet personaly. I can download full DVDs from there in about 30 minutes. It downloads at the full speed of my connection with no "build up" time like with torrents. I get the full 8mbits/s which comes out to be more like 1,200 Kbytes a second. It's great though. Most anything you find on any other Warez site, shows up on Newzbin first, then spreads from there. It costs $12 a month, but considering I download like 4-5 perfect DVD movies a night sometimes, it's worth it. All the games, audio books, eBooks, movies, tv shows, etc. It's worth it, especialy at that speed.
Other then that, the torrent site I used to use was
