[muglo] iTunes movie rentals

We were in Ottawa for the weekend, while there I paid for a Internet  
connection at the hotel, $12.50 plus tax, so I figured after checking  
and replying to e-mail to put that to use and downloaded a movie.  The  
movie was large (1.6 gb) and basically took overnight to download the  
connection seemed to top out at 120 kb/s  My wife watched it during  
the drive home Sunday afternoon and she said it was better to watch  
the movie on the iPod Touch than she imagined it would.  I watched a  
portion of it on my MacBook Pro tonight and the video quality seemed  
as good as any DVD I have watched on the computer, the sound was of  
good quality as well.  I would do it again for a flight or maybe if I  
knew that I was in for a day that involved a lot of waiting but I  
doubt that it will become a regular part of my entertainment spending.
At home my internet connection is just a bit faster than half of that  
at the hotel so it would take even longer to download but at work it  
is 5 times faster than the hotel's so I could download it a bit  
quicker there but that would take away from the spur of the moment  
attraction of renting the movie over the net.
