Doing it this way keeps members happy, as well as my bank account.
Well we got round that by chopping movies into parts for dialup users and then when all parts are uploaded you bang up the full file uncut for braodband users. This also fills an update slot. Which when dealing with exclusive content can be a headache especially if you have multiple sites that all need feeding with content.
