Movies are a slightly different kettle of fish than songs b/c of their size. If there's somebody who is only allowing one/2 people upld from them, & a dialup user is dwnlding a 4-800MB movie, then imagine how long it's going to take them at 2-6 kb/s! Simple arithmetics really. It would take them many days. And then, the source may be offering a no. of uplds from them but it's being shared by many people, then it becomes a similar story. There's probably many more sources for songs than there are for videos (a major point!) But, I'm sure you will occasionally strike it lucky & get good connections & speeds.
