Hello All,

As you saw below, Autobahn is able to get some really fast download rates, in that particular case, on Comcast.

A very cool thing that these high download speeds enables is the ability to watch the movies you buy through iTunes within a minute or two after you begin the download. Because Autobahn Accelerator for iTunes maximizes your incoming broadband, you get consistently fast download speeds, allowing playback very quickly.

As you can see in this screen shot, with iTunes’ estimate of 57 minutes of download time remaining, I could begin watching the very excellent movie “Chinatown” with only about 4% of the movie downloaded. Instead of waiting for 57 minutes to watch, I started viewing the movie in about 2 minutes. To see full image, click the thumbnail below . . .

To do this when you download a movie, purchase your movie, and after the download is initiated, click on the “Movies” button in iTunes. Pretty quickly after the download has begun, the movie info will show up and you can click on your movie and play it.

One small disclaimer : If your PC is a bit older, the video may stutter on playback. In that case, you may wish to wait until the video is completely downloaded to start watching it.

Happy downloading - and most importantly, happy viewing!

Cheers,

John
