    I'm downloading a film...but I want it asap.
    It feels like viewing the HF would slow this process.
    Is that right or wrong?

    I doubt it'll slow it down too much, maybe a few minutes, depends how long your on em for and how many pages you click on really.

    Do the research you ignorant SOB. What's wrong with you? A fifth grader could answer that question.

    Thanks guys.

    I'm downloading the New Star Trek film. I'm not on EM at the moment...don't plan on being on it tonight. I don't click on that many pages, really. Perhaps about 50 an hour.


    I've not downloaded a film before this one - shocking I know.
    Because I have to use a dongle - that is probably the main reason it is taking an Ice age...but I wanted to maximise the time...so I could - fingers crossed - watch it tonight.

    Knowing my look it will end up being a Steven Segal film. Fail.

    My friend has already downloaded it. He said it is not a cam version.
    I'll send my version if you want.

    You dont get anything other than "cam" versions untill it hits dvd. Unless a critic copy gets out, which happens. The studios now use steganography to ID the critics selling them.

    I've heard that E.
    It's at 73%, WL, I'll make sure it is a decent version before I send it to you.

    A little bit. You'll notice that downloading will slow hipforums much more. The loss will probably be negligible for downloading.
