Post Got this one in less than 2 hours...

Looks like Rogers didn't do a lot of throttling on this one... actually saw 150kBs download and not a lot of peers or seeders. The CBC show came down in less than 2 hours... (40 minute show, divx compressed; they did have a 264 compressed varient, but it was half the res for the ipod crowd ) and I downloaded another movies from MiniNova at the same time... and got it at that amazing speed (clearly the fix was in). But ya when you think about it... digital broadcasting OTA could deliver whatever much faster than cable or wire. I suspect the future might go that direction if they get their head out of their backsides. I also noted that Miro was one of the suggested options...to handle the torrent (latest Miro does handle torrents now).
