I used to, but stopped because the MPEG video showing at fullscreen 
(plus the fact that you may end up rendering frames for them) needs some 
CPU time, which means less CPU available for BOINCing 
(http://boinc.berkeley.edu/).

Recent versions of the screensaver get the videos via BitTorrent. The 
server doesn't overload as much since then :) But may cause problems to 
download. For example, it may take a while to connect to enough people 
to get a decent download speed.

Try getting a sheep pack for a start:
