Having started on the 'net with dialup @ 2400 baud setting something going 
and letting it get on with it overnight or longer isn't a problem...

That went through my mind as well. "HD" at around 2.5 Mbps isn't very good, 
if these HLS downloads are HD @ 5 to 10 Mbps the double realtime they'll 
take to download over our 4 Mbps connection will be worth it. <mental note> 
Think about getting a bigger HD for the media player.  B-)
