http://www.brainpop.com is an amazingly effective science site for kids that keeps their attention during the flash loading process with tidbits of information and quiz questions... A secondgrader pointed it out to me this afternoon!
First of all, divx;) and the web don't mix very well right now. The average divx movie is >400 MB and wouldn't be hostable on average webhosting possibilities. In the recent past, Scour.Com was the ideal place to find divx... Currently, unless you know of good ftp sites, the primary source for divx is none other than newsgroups. On the alt.binaries newsgroups, there are TONS of movies and music videos posted daily. A good friend of mine has downloaded 80+ movies that are up to 1GB in size from @home news servers... (and they block MOST of the alt.binaries newsgroups!)
In summary, check out your provider's newsgroups, download free agent, and have fun! (free agent = www.forte.com)

Feel free to make your own at CafePress.Com... I'm not affiliated with this site, but I've used it to make inside-joke t-shirts for friends' birthdays... Heck, you could even possibly turn a small profit by creating www.cafepress.com/tuxinspace and hiking up the t-shirt prices a dollar or two above base price! (assuming you don't need to license tux, in the spirit of open source...)
FAP = Fair Access Policy
FAP means once you download your cap (aproximately 25 megs - your mileage may vary), you end up with about a 14.4 speed download. Search Deja for "DirecPC" and you will find about 100 disgruntled users for every one happy user... (and that one happy user usually turns out to be a DirecPC reseller!)
Take it from one who learned the hard way...
DirecPC is EVIL
