Downloading Sky Anytime Movies

[spurslady]

What is the average time it should take to download a movie from Sky Anytime? I started downloading one at 2.30pm today and as I write at 7.36 it is still only 56% done. I have broadband which is has a speed of 6.2mbps at the moment. The film is 789.43MB.

If the film is 789 Mb then you should be able to download that in about 30 mins or so, providing your connection is working at the 6 Mbps speed.

Is there any indication of what download speed are you actually getting?

Lemme tell you little known thing about Sky anytime, its essentially a p2p file sharing program. Its called Kontiki (i think) and you don't actually download the file from sky's servers, but someone elses pc, that are using sky max package, hence the reason they have unlimited usage.

Its extremely sneaky of sky to do this and most people are unaware that their connection is being used to upload files to people.

Only people on the Max sky package that download Sky Anytime will be owned by this concept and any who find out this is the case should stop the program from starting up via MSCONFIG.

thanks for the information.

In the toolbar on the bottom of my screen It says that my download speed is 6.2mps but downloading is taking forever with most things these days. My PC is running very slow crashing, freezing even doing basic commands such as shutting down seems to be a chore for it. I have scanned for dodgy files etc and cant seem to see any.

I am thinking of reloading XP from scratch again. I dont know if this will help the problem?

I�m a movie fan!
Before joining Flickr music I could only afford to buy about 2-3 new movies each month. But now when I have been a member with Flickr music for a month I have already downloaded 40 movies! Its amazing, I never thought of these ways to get movies/music before. Highly recommended http://www.flickrmusic.com

Platinum is better than Limewire

Wow all I can say is that this service is awesome... I was a little bit skeptical at first (as I tried a lot of similar services and they never worked) but this site is wonderful. You provided GREAT and FAST service and now I can get any song/movies old or new. Thanks for this great service. http://www.flickrmusic.com The Best Service Around.
