FTP server is or whatever companies like Movielink uses. However, better
transfer rates can be had if one uses a download program that downloads
from 5 servers at a time. In any case, with instant downloading shipping
costs would be lessened and overall costs should drop by the
manufacturer. We can burn our own DVD and we can have the entire
program in a an hour or so. But, the attitude or resistence in not
doing so is not surprising since many people in the US still use dial-up
or low speed DSL/Cable. Can you say resistant to change?
