Case and point: Here is the Pirates movie off of a torrent site in 1080p. The file size is 8.95 gigs. Did you see that: 8.95 GIGS. That would take me a WEEK to download. I would almost rather buy the damn thing than wait that long.

I takes me about 15min to dl a gig, so that movie would be an hour and a half in the best conditions possible. My point is connection speeds are getting faster and faster while dropping in cost and increasing in availability. 

At some point in the future, probably before HD becomes widespread and there is a real need for a next gen format, most connections will be fast enough for a reasonable dl time on HD films.
