For this new usage of computers... it would be a good idea to have high speed/cable internet or if nothing elsea different phone line. Today that's not such a problem because it's rare to have dial up and not have a cell phone but in the past this could have been a problem for you too. The reason for this is everything would be tied up for several hours to download a 3 minute long edit. This would also tie up the phone line for the same amount of time.
If for some reason you were having an emergency or your car broke down, your phone would be busy for hours. Fortunately that never happened to me but I could never get through while I was at work. The worst would be when they'd been downloading a trailer or an edit for several hours and something happens and it gets disconnected and they have to start all over again.
I swear it was one of those things where they'd start downloading the trailer, go eat dinner, check on it and it would read 20% downloaded, watch a movie, and hopefully it would be downloaded. Sometimes after the movie they'd go check and you'd hear NOOOOOO! Son of a bleep! Realize the same thing may happen over and over again until they've got the trailer and it took 12 hours to get those 3 minutes.
