Download a 1080p movie? Sure lets wait 20 hours for it to download..

Incase anyone actually cares... a 1080p movie has a smaller file size then a 720p or 1080i movie.  1080p was a marketing gimick to push in a lower bitrate for the same quality.  1080p movies are 24fps, 720p movies are 60 fps, 1080i movies can be 24fps, 29.97fps or 59.97fps. 

The lower frame rate allows for the lower bitrates.

 

 

Actually, any movie not filmed with digital cameras are 24 fps(the standard for film projectors).  If they use more than that in their transfers for 720p/1080i it would be retarded.
