At least for me it is. I started my V for Vendetta download yesterday some time around 3:30 or 4 p.m., I'm not quite sure when exactly. Well, I wake up on a very lazy Thanksgiving morning to find that my download was stopped (second time this happened) and when I restart it, it currently sits at 18% completion. What a great service Microsoft! It's like you made the downloads so slow because you wanted to give Netflix a chance to get the movie to me before you can. Genius, and really gracious of you too!
Is anyone else having MAJOR problems with this service? Am I the only one that Microsoft seems to want to play this cruel joke on? Should I just give up on this and download the Lost Planet multiplayer demo? I'm so torn.

however concerning the shitty performance on the movie... what do you expect? the shit just released, same thing that happened with the wii and the ps3 services when they came up and if i recall correctly the same thing happened when live started offering downloads of stuff. itll be rocky for a few days, give it some time. if its still doing it ina week, then there is a problem...
but while every fucktard in the universe is trying to download the same movie because its the only good one on a brand new service, expect hiccups.
Gunpowder, treason, and plot
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot
The team is still working away at the issues....look for an increase in performance as the day goes on. You should see a better experience by the time you awake from your tryptophan slumber.

Hey lostsupper,
Exactly what part of support did you go to in your call? I called last night around 10pm and asked for billing. I got right thru to a cute sounding american girl that knew exactly what she was doing and assured me I would not be charged twice. She even laughed and empathized with the need for a bigger hard drive and that we should be able to save the movies to our pc over the network. I was very happy and suprised that I did not get some broken english speaking indian. She pulled up my whole history and went thru all my purchases and then made sure I hade a trouble ticket number in case I did get charged twice. I am wondering if you navigated to tech support instead of billing?
