Who is going to sit in a starbucks long enough to download a movie torrent?
I've never used public wi-fi at one of those places. I wonder, do they have any blocks in place to prevent you accessing certain kinds of traffic?

I have never used it either so I have no idea how fast it is or if they have any kind of limits on what types of sites/files you can download or visit.
As for taking time to download a movie, if it is a fast connection I would bet you could download a full movie in the amount of time it took you to drink a coffee and eat a scone.
Still, I would guess you are probably correct that once they saw it was a starbucks they would just pass over it because there is no way to knowing who actually did the downloading.
