You need to learn how to read. A standard definition COMPRESSED movie
takes an hour or so to DL the 2GB or so the file contains.

A HIGH DEFINITION movie, with high end audio streams would be on the
order of 10GB or more, and would indeed take considerably longer to
acquire at even the fastest connections the average consumer has today.

HD optical disc formats are going to be the norm for quite a while,
boys. Get used to it.
