Watch and download movies and TV Shows
Graboid is an application for streaming and downloading video. Its servers host over 150000 videos of movies and TV shows, updated regularly and each available for up to 240 days.
Users have to register, which is just a case of giving an email and user name, then you're off. Graboid claims not to infringe any copyright laws, although it's worth noting that as it lets you download full and recent movies for free, users should be careful what they are using Graboid for.
The range of shows and films available is impressive, and the streaming is good, although it tends to make the program lag a little. Downloading video is extremely fast, basically as fast as your connection will allow.
The video player in the browser is slow in general, but any downloaded content can be played in outside Graboid, so that's not a huge problem. The free account is limited to 30 days and 4 gigabytes of downloads. After this it's necessary to sign up for paid account to continue usage.
The program is easy to use, but suffers from slowdown a lot, which can result in accidental downloads, if you're impatiently clicking while Graboid catches up with what you're doing. Downloads we tried were about 90% successful - occasionally some failed to open after completion.
Graboid is an interesting service which is mostly let down by the application's slow speed and the issue of whether users are acting legally by downloading content from it, although the downloads are impressively fast.

It's a good search engine, virus free, and worth the price of unlimited BW..
I have the unlimited bandwidth and have for years. It has always worked well for me. It's a good search engine and I have never encountered any virus on any download. More

Doesn't work.
Terrible. Graboid rob you of bandwidth consistently. Add up the MB of what you download to what they take. Also, when you upgrade at any time whilst downloading films, graboid will steal all of the bandwidth from the upgraded account. When i challenged them, they ignored me for months.
Pros:
the very rare video that works well
Cons:
languauge problems on most downloads (who wants to watch a film on german?!

Graboid is awesome.
You have to download a video before you even have the option to sign up for a paid account, customer service is 10am-6pm every day, Eastern Time, email response is <1 day anytime. The program and the company are AWESOME.
Pros:
Reeks of awesome. 450,000 videos that you actually want to watch (no home-made cat videos).
Cons:
It does cost money after the free trial, but only because it's so friction' awesome. More
