Now that ABC is streaming episodes of "Lost," any way one can view it from outside the US and/or download it (copy the stream)?

bittorrent networks regularly have DivX episodes of Lost directly after the air date, if you're not opposed to that sort of thing (it is not legal, afaik).

you can run a search at http://www.torrentspy.com

If you're just going to copy the stream, you might as well download it with bittorrent. Here's mininova's Lost section, sorted by most recently added file.

Find yourself a US-based transparent proxy server and configure your browser to use it. Proxy configuration is under "connection settings" in Firefox and under "LAN settings" in IE. Sites such as proxy4free.com have lists of open proxies you can try.

Anonymouse is a free (ad-supported) proxy.

If you're in the UK, you can watch it on the Channel 4 website, but not until the episode has aired in the UK, and it'll cost you 99p for 24-hour access to one episode.
