Graboid is no longer. The best alternative I have seen to-date is Netflix
You can watch instantly via your Xbox 360, PS3, Wii or any other device that streams instantly from Netflix and its really really cheap!!
For the Xbox 360:
Simply click on Netflix in the Video Marketplace. Follow the onscreen instructions to connect your Xbox 360 to your Netflix account. Xbox LIVE Gold membership is required.
For PS3 Users:
Simply click on Netflix within the main area of the Playstation screen. Follow the on screen instructions to connect your Playstation 3 to your Netflix account. FREE Playstation Network membership is required.
Wii Addicts:
Simply install Netflix from the Wii Shop Channel on your Wii console and follow the on-screen instructions.
And of course, you can always watch streaming movies and tv shows on any pc.

Wow, guess I signed up just in time
So, I received an invitation, the email looks a lot like a spam:
====
Subject:
Graboid: you’ve been invited to sign up
Body:
You have been invited to signup for Graboid Beta.
To accept the invitation, click the following link: http://www.graboid.com.
There are only [3-digit-number-here] spots remaining!

Who invited me? And why?
Looking up graboid.com whois information tells me only that they used godaddy.com to register the domain…
On the website, it says © 2007 Fusenet Inc. without any link to the company’s website, no “about us” link either.
On the blog, 2 posts signed by “Ryan” and “Sanjay”: one asking you to believe that they are not a mpaa honeypot, and one telling that they are setting up some big servers because they are not using p2p
On the FAQ they attempt to answer the questions “What is Graboid?”, “How do I download?” and “Where do I sign up?”, but not one word about the most important question: “Is it Legal in the US?”
Something don’t smells right here, if they are not p2p, this means that they will be serving this “29447 movies and shows” themselves, and if that is the case, giving the benefit of the doubt and for a moment assuming they are not an mpaa honeypot, either they have the permission to distribute everything(possibly charging+maybe a deal with CBS and others) or they are running the service in a somewhat controversy/obscure/illegal way (servers on sealand
) and this is the reason for hiding up details about the company…
In any case, no thanks for now, waiting is the safest bet here.
check out also http://www.fnuz.com there are plenty of websites where you can watch movies, cartoons, animes, tv series online for free
enjoy
I just stumbled on the site and it is tempting… I got as far as the agreement which says several times that they will use my bandwidth to provide content to me and others.
I don’t know what the mpaa honeypot is that coconut refers to, but should I be concerned about unwanted access to my pc if I use the graboid software?
Thanks.
A great website where to watch free TV online it’s:
http://www.tvonline.2ya.com
Lot of webradio & webTV like MCM, MTV, Eurosport, ESPN, CNN, ABC, SKYNEWS, Discovery channel, Sci-fi channel, NASA TV, Research channel, and more.
I am a member, but I cannot get the list of categories on the left side of the page. What am I doing wrong. Your directions are no help.
So I am a member at graboid. And yes graboid is legal…I understand how they work and there is no law suggesting that they aren’t legal. They don’t host anything, they aren’t using links to other websites either. The pratice they use is older than the internet itself. But the end result, if you can not figure it out on your own, is just enjoy it…cause its the best thing out there right now and may stay that way for a while. It works, so be happy!
YA!
I’m a BETA member! It’s really great! Definatly the best there is at the moment. If there’s better, I haven’t found it.

y is people think graboid is the best ist shite ,yes im still with them sometimes there good sometimes there bad i get bad most of the time like downloads what stop when they get to 99%done and dont come down .my speeds are good they do come down fast when they finish i downloaded a movie in half hour done 1 today still downloading ,,so graboid is shite at times and excellent when it works if there is a program like graboid want to know ,i pay for graboid so ill pay for another simler program…
hey, im a graboid member right now as well, and honestly ive never seen a better program for getting free vids. damn quick too, i was downloading at almost 600kb/s yesterday. definately worth a try
can you download the movies and burn them in a disc? NO! i dont plan on selling. i just want to watch them on a bigger screen instead of my little ass computer one.
I upgraded as of 8/5/08 to Graboid Gold plan for 29.99 and it has been malfunctioning every since. Wasn’t surprised today when I attempted to open it up and it no longer exist. WOW!!! Then when I went online to their website, it no longer exist either. What’s up with that. Good thing I paid through paypal. I immediately cancelled. What a rip off. You may wanna stop advertising Graboid. Is there anything else to watch shows/movies on, that is reliable of course?
Kshutch
I remember you. You help me a lot with graboid. Tell me something, what’s up with Graboid now? I can’t even get them to come on at all. It saying that it doesn’t exist. And when I go online to their website, it doesn’t come up. It’s saying that there is not website by that name. What? Have they just disappeared? Ran off with lots of money. Well, I cancelled my subscription with them as of today. Can you tell me if you have been able to open Graboid today? Or anyone else…have you guys opened your Graboids today?
OMFG, are people stupid or just willing to be?
I am going to say loud and clear…
GRABOID USES PAYPAL SERVICES AND FOR THAT THEY (AS A COMPANY) NEED TO BE LEGAL..
Sometimes i wish that people would do some research before they open thier mouths..
been with them since Beta V0.9 or something. and i always get 700Kbts my internet is dial-up up-to 4MBs.
PLUS… Graboid still works . GRABIOD HAS NEVER STOP WORKING U STUPID DIC8EADS. I HATE PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
grabiod.com works and yet still the best service on the net.
If people not sure about the safty, then get in your stupid car waste 3 miles of petrol and rent a movie, ohh and the next day dont forget to put the movie next to the key or u will be paying the late fees. i hate haters…………..
Geez people, would ya all relax in here.
I have found that this graboid is a VERY contrise site.
I mean is legal and illigal.
Legal that they use borderline techneques in getting the flicks and most of the movies are copied from out of usa movie theaters.
ANY movie copy used in a public viewing manner (GRABOID) or whomever, online or not, needs to have Explicit permission from the makers of such material used. music, movies, etc….
However the p2p thing is not used, so that makes it a non sharring files.
?? what or who is to say what is legal or not??
You take a risk when using any online media server!!.
“USE AT YOUR OWN RISK”
Remember what happend to the lady and her daughter whom downloaded only a few dozen songs,(about 2-3 years ago) not much but they got caught, compared to people who have and still download thousands a day,
and was forced to pay HEAVTY FINES!!
mmmmmm, Limewire??? mabie.
Allthough that is a P2P software.
“THINK”
If you don’t like it for any reason, just TRY to uninstall it. NO WAY! It is against their terms to uninstall. BS.
Watch streaming movies and tv shows for free in this site.
It’s really not suprising that this fad became a big hit, it was bound to happen.

Hi ,
I live in Canada . I would like to know if it is legal for me to download and burn movies from graboid.com for myself and sell copies to my friends ?
When I try to view your main RSS feed it just returns a bunch of garbage, is the issue on my side?
