Is it legal to download the Star Trek Online client from somewhere like FilePlanet for example, because the downloader offered by Cryptic is too slow for me? And can someone recommend a better place to download the Star Trek Online client?
You can download the client from anywhere. Cryptic offers several different methods including a small mini-torrent client (using Amazon's cloud distribution service IIRC) and you can also download the patcher which will download the needed game files directly from the patch server. In general, the former will always be faster than the latter. If you purchase a digital copy, you may also download the client from Atari or Steam (depending on who you purchased it from).
Not available from Steam unless you purchase from them. I believe the Atari link simply uses the STO official website link and source as well. Which method did are you attempting to use? The mini-torrent client or the auto-update patcher?

But can't recommend any other site though.
