Downloading a 20 Gb HD movie will take about 20 hours over a 4Mbit/sec cable modem.....


Yes you may be able to watch some of while it is downloading but the average broadband connection today is not fast enough.


The typical 802.11G connection in the home isn't fast enough to stream HD from one room to another either. The Blu-Ray spec is 40 Mbit/sec.


So downloaded HD movies won't be common for some time.


As for J6P (glad someone explained that acronym) - he'll choose the format he can watch his favorite movies on. He won't buy the HD DVD player at Walmart if he can't get any movies for it.
