The biggest bottleneck right now to downloading DH movies over the internet is the time it take, as the file size can be 4.5 gigs for 720P and 6.5 gigs for 1080P. Of course, there are plenty of other productive things I can be doing while the computer handles the download in the background, but still, there is the wait. The primary target for high definition movies is the new BluRay DVD, and that sucker can hold 25 gigs to 50 gigs per DVD, so I'll settle to 720P download for now. Hopefully the internet will find a way to provide greater bandwidth to the masses in the near future.
