If you are counting on HD quality downloads, look at them to be at least 5gb's or in most cases larger. So basically, if I want to download a 5-10gb movie, it will take about a day to download that size of a file at the quickest unless they can really counter any sort of bottlenecks in the system. When I want to watch or buy a movie, I don't want to wait hours or days to get that movie when I could run out to a store and buy the movie or rent it the same day.
Also, I do not trust in saving all of my movies with no hard copy backup of the movie in case I have a HD fail and am unable to get back those movies without buying again. I'll stick to hard copies like DVD's or Blu-Rays over downloading any and every day of the week. |
While I haven't specifically been looking at HD movie sizes, I am 70% certain you can get them to under 5gigs. I have gotten hour long TV shows in HD fairly often and they usually clock in at a little less than a gig an episode. 2-3ish gigs is easily doable for a hi-def movies. Even then it is still a long download and all the other points you make stand.
