But unless you’re going to use both files immediately — unlikely — that’s not very efficient. The “smaller” file of the free ‘30 Rock’ episode Apple is offering (257 megabytes) takes up 36% of the space that the larger, hi-def file takes up (720 megabytes). That means we need 36% more space on our hard drive to store it, and — because both downloads start at the same time, 36% more bandwidth to download it.

I’m making your case for you here, not knocking it. But this makes me want to doubt EVERY SINGLE ONE of your posts with any numbers, whatsoever. please, Please, PLEASE, do the simple smell test, won’t you? 720 is clearly more than 36% larger than 257.
