I have DSL also and I can sympathize with Geezer's plight! It takes me, on average, about 1.5 - 2 hours to download a 400 Meg HD clip. I solve this by using a free download manager (in my case FlashGet, but there are others), loading it up and letting it run overnight. I always get the HD versions of Danielle's videos, because I'd like to try copying them to DVD's at some point so I can watch them on a tv instead of my computer. The 3000 kb/sec "medium-res" videos are a nice option to have, and I usually use that for the other FTV videos. Truth be told, on my computer, I can't see much of a quality difference between those and the 8000 kb/sec videos. I imagine that time didn't allow for this option to be added right away. Hopefully Rob will add it at a later date.
