Try reading the ps3 section mate, there is a fair amount of info in there for you regarding your question.
You can add the avi files onto your ps3 hard drive, or there are a few different apps to download which will let you stream from your pc to your ps3.
I personally like to use an app called Vuze (used to be azareus).

yeah i'd think a PS3 would play a copy bluray as it plays copy dvds.

however be aware that bluray dvds vary from about 20gig to 50gig dependant on length etc, so to download that size would take a while, plus bluray dvds aren't cheap and a bluray burner definately isn't cheap.

if you still do decide to go into it, newsgroups would be my only donwload option as the files are far too big to use on torrents

sounds like you're using a divx capable dvd player or a ps3 to play downloaded divx/xvid avi's burned to a disc
well if you want to play HD downloads you have to you have to upgrade your player to one that supports newer hd file formats like MKV's or you can convert MKVs to VOB format that can be played by your ps3 its the cheaper hd alternative with little or no loss of quality How To Play MKV Files On Playstation 3 (http://hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Play-MKV-Files-On-Playstation-3)
