As NetFlix realized years ago, and as many system operators know in IT - the fastest bulk data transfer in the world is a shipping crate full of tapes or optical disks.
That's why YouTube streams dinky little videos, and DVD and it's decendants give you real video.
And if you just download video, not stream, well then, I hope you have a giant home PC (in terms of disk space). Or your own home NAS with RAID 5...cause you just can't back up a few terabytes. Oh, wait, you can...onto HD DVDs...

Download content to replace disks? HA!
