Don't forget that downloading does not require the fast connections that streaming demands.
With a tailored download of say 8.5gbs (enough for a very nice x264 1080p movie with one language audio track using full DTS @ 1.5mbps or Dolby Digital Plus @ 1.5mbps = much superior to vanilla Dolby Digital or the lower rated versions of DTS) any connection offering 6 -7mb will be done in about 3 - 4hrs.
Better net connections will do it even faster.
That's perfectly feasible for a hell of a lot of people right now.
