It delays the orderly flow of discs, either by not acknowledging
receipt of returned discs on time or by taking longer to send you a
disc.

It's all over these DVD forums for as long as I can remember.

If you are not a heavy user, then it is unlikely you will be
throttled. And if you order the entire series at one time, NF will
send the discs in order. Just be sure to have alternatives for them to
send in case there is a delay.

Netflix is the best of the lot, warts and all. All you have to
remember is that if you are a heavy user, then you have to unsubscribe
for a month after having used them for a month. One month on, one
month off.
You might also want to investigate bit torrents on <alt.bittorrent>.
Almost every popular TV series in available. But you need to burn your
own data DVDs and your player must be able to read AVI XviD format.
Otherwise you have to convert and that takes a lot of computer time.
