No, it's a burgeoning problem ... there isn't enough bandwidth to
support lots of people downloading movies. It only works when while
there have been few.
Kind of like the situation with automobiles. No one imagined autos
would be anything but great and they were great when there were limited
numbers ... now everyone has one or more and there are traffic, jams and
no parking problems and the US can't keep up with its bridge repair...
That's why Comcast started playing tricks with the bit torrent
down-loaders. Comcast didn't expect such a problem when they designed
their service contracts and got caught out by it.

If everyone started downloading 4 GB movies, could the current
internet handle the capacity? If not, is this something we really want or
need?
That is why it is estimated that 1/3 of the Internet's bandwidth is used
for such uses.
