Id love to see what m$ is paying for monthly bandwidth usage on this thing
What about many regular internet users. Many people have bandwidth limits (say 60gig cap on downloading for example)
With 6gb downloads per movie just to be erased 24hr later, many people are going to fill their quota very quickly.
Although this could be good aswell, as ISP's will raise their limits, or get rid of them completely, as more people start to use these types of services.

They should have intergrated a bittorrent like solution, it would solve alot of their bandwidth issues
i agree.. but at the same time, you are paying to download a movie, not upload at the same time.. and then what, people sniff out how its transferring and intercept HD movies on their PC.. dont think MS would go that route.

If it is a direct link to their servers, it will continue to be sluggish for a long time to come. They need a torrent like structure for the 360 users. Thats why torrents work so well. M$ could easily go down that road and still be secure as everything is signed. Come on M$ dont be that ignorrant, always implement things that already have proven itself.
Everyone would get all there movies and no problems for M$.
as easy as a solution as this sounds it wouldn't really work.
it'd work to some degree; but thing about this, most people will stop the upload once their movie is done downloading. there would have to always be one seeder (MS) and that's not working out to an acceptable degree right now.
then you'd have only the popular movies getting seeded, again, atleast one seeder (MS) would need to remain for other downloads.
though the idea of a bt solution is awesome, it just wouldn't work in this situation.
i'm sure MS will figure out a way to get this service rolling.
as stated above about the slow marketplace download; get 900K/sec down on my cable connection and the most i pull from the marketplace is 200-275 at an given time.

Why not ?
As it is today only MS is "seeding" (uploading).
Even if you only seed while you download a movie MS still saves upload.

Yeah right.. my dsl upload speed is about 60kb/s and as much as I have complained it has never gotten any better than that and probably never will.. my download speed it fine howver..
60kB/s upload? I only get about 40kB/s upload with Road Runner.

huh... your lucky to have that... I only get 30 MAX.
Downloading demo's from xboxlive are very slow as well. It takes hours (well over 4) on on a 2meg line.

You guys aren't too clever, are you?
Here's how you do it, by default allow all xbox 360s to seed videos but only while the xbox is not playing games. Also, offer people who seed market place points for bandwidth. That way MS saves money on servers, the user gets hooked up with points and thus is encoraged to buy even more content, and users get their movies faster.
