First rental from iTunes

[Grumpyguy]

Downloading I Am Legend....

But dang, it is 1.12 GBs! and is taking forever to download on my DSL.

Great idea, but timewise it isn't timely.

On bittorent, movies are generally 300 to 500 mb....

You know that you can start watching it after only a few minutes of downloading, right?

[Grumpyguy]

Yeah,

Unfortunately, it is downloading so slowly, that I can only watch a few minutes at time and I gave it a half hour head start....

[jdc]

is that the HD version?

[The UnDoug]

In my experience, rarely is anything of acceptable quality less than about 700 - 800 MB on Bit Torrent, etc.

[Grumpyguy]

So without a faster pipeline, "renting" a movie from iTunes can't be a spur of the moment type thing. Too bad.

At least I Am Legend was a decent zombie flick.

[ztirffritz]

I only have 1.5Mbps DSL and it works fine.

Loved the flick, the other ending was not as good. The part when his dog turns brings me to tears, i put my dog down a month earlier and held him till he was gone.
