Yeah, it can take a while to download some of the movies. Right now I'm only downloading movie that are HD 720P. I downloaded "The Forbidden Kingdom" in 720P, and it took about 8 hours to download the 4.5 gigs of it over the internet using bittorrent. I then ran the movie through "PS3 Video 9" converter under the HDTV size setting, and it took another 8 or 9 hours to convert the 4.5 gig MKS format to a PS3 2.5 gig MPEG-AVC format. Then I tried streaming it over wireless, but the 54 mbps couldn't keep up causing the movie to kept starting and pausing, starting and pausing .... , so I put a hard wired C5 cable, full duplex, into the PS3 Ethernet port, configured PS3 with IP addresses for DNS, gateway, subnet mask and had it search for the media server, which it found. I started the movie over again, and it played fine. The wife came in and started watching the movie, so I watched the movie again with her. The movie played very smoothly without and pausing using the full duplex hard wired connection. I don't know what would happen with a 1080P file. I might have to upgrade to a 1000 mbps network with cat6 cables, but I'm very happy with the PS3 audio and video quality using 720P, so I'll defer upgrading to 1000 mbps network to later. The PS3 uses a sony proprietary file system that will handle large files. The PS3 has a USP 2 into which I could plug my external HD, which I'm expecting to arrive today, but PS3 will only recognize the drive if its has a FAT32 file system. The FAT32 file system has a 4 gig limit on file size. I can get around this limitation by plugging the external hard drive into my desktop computer and putting a ext3 partition on one half of the 750 gig drive, and a Windows NTFS on the other half of the external drive. Then I can use TVersity as the media server to stream any size file I like to the PS3. Only problem is, as the file size increases and more plexals have to be streamed to the PS3 for higher resolutions, I'll need more and more bandwidth, so a 1000 mbps connection between my desktop computer --> router ---> PS3, at least, looks to be in my future.
