It's naive to think that the .mov file extension refers to it being in a
nonfree video format.
Actually the reason get_iplayer can get the video is because the iphone
(possibly one of the most drm'd devices in the world) couldnt support
Windows media DRM so they made it h.264 codec video.

You're certainly better off than trying to get the Windows 7 Beta, or in

You also have to account for the fact that the server might be at high
capacity, so you might not get full speed, etc, etc, hence my
conservative guess of 3mins, but yes, easily inside 5mins anyway, and
that's two copies, so Ubuntu AND Kubuntu ;)

I was watching the BBC News 24 TV programme "Click" broadcast this
weekend. When they were testing a 100 Mbit/s broadband connection, they
used it to download two copies of Ubuntu 9.04 simultaneously. A good
advert for Ubuntu.
