		<description>Nick - You're halfway to my idea. Rich &#38; Izkata what you're looking for is GmailFS, and something like that's a component of my idea.  
Take free online storage, many different places, many different accounts.  Break uploads into chunks, use a header files to keep track of what is where, and the login info for those accounts.  Use something akin to GmailFS to mount this as a virtual drive, but show only the header files, not all of the sub-chunks.  Now, you're connecting to dozens if not hundreds of different accounts to upload and download from, meaning you can upload and download as fast as your connection can handle it - no matter where you uploaded from versus are downloading to.  
But it gets better. 
I could share login information with people I trust(they'd have R/W access, so I better trust them), and now I can upload as fast as my connection can allow, and once the files are there, you could download them as fast as you could handle it.  

Sure, an app like this would be a bit abusive, so some servers might change their policies or delete accounts doing this - and that's a problem as if you lose 1 chunk, you lose the ability to reconstitute the file.  Hence we'll need some mirroring so if one account goes down you're still good.  This works best with something like email, where you could forward chunks to other storage locations without having to upload them again, but in a pinch you could manually upload the mirror info(tho now you're not -really- uploading as fast as you connection can handle as you're uploading 2-3x the amount of data you really want).  Now the header file has a listing of chunks, and say 3ish accounts under each chunk, there could even be something to test the relative connection speed of these alternatives to download from the fastest of them at the time.  If at any point you cannot access an account, it would simply set up another forward to some other account to make sure you still have enough mirrors so you don't lose data.

Spread this over a number of different hosting sites so no one or two of them could lock you out of your data with account deletion or a site change which would require a patch on the part of your virtual file system.  Now you've got something which is really resilient, and would require pretty massive collaboration between these hosting sites to shut down, or even temporarily lock you out of your data.  The more hosting sites included in this FS, the more resilient it is, but the more time required to code it in the 1st place and keep it operational as sites change their layouts and require a patch to the FS etc - but I think once people see how fast and convenient this could be, you'd get enough people interested in helping to maintain and augment the FS.</description>

		<description>Rich, if you have Windows, there's a program you can download that maps a GMail account to a drive letter.  But I use GSpace, so I've forgotten the name of that program.</description>
