I'm currently downloading the Simpsons Movie in sd, and it is taking forever (after 45 minutes, it only 18% downloaded, and not yet ready to begin viewing). I'm on a (supposedly) 15Mb roadrunner cable connection, with ATV connected via wireless G. Even while the movie is downloading, I can go to Speedtest.net on my laptop and get 3.5Mb download bandwidth, which seems to indicate that there should be sufficient bandwidth to begin watching an sd movie at least within a few minutes. Other than running the speedtest, and writing this message, there is nothing else eating up bandwidth on my home network. I checked by iTunes account and verified that I did indeed purchase the sd version (precisely b/c I wanted to watch it right away, rather than have to wait for some time for it to buffer).
Any ideas on what might be going on here? I've had my atv for about a week, and have downloaded 3 sd movies and 1 hd movie. Two of the sd movies have so far have taken about this long to download, whereas the third was ready to watch within a minute or so. The hd movie was ready to watch in about 20 minutes (which is much sooner than two of the three sd movies). Its frustrating, b/c I am otherwise really enjoying it. But if I can't get these download speed issues ironed out, it's just not very practical for me.

At the moment, I'm simultaneously getting 8.5 - 9Mb download on various speedtests, everything I try network-wise is working great (even streaming videos from other web sites), except the atv download moving at a snails pace. Tried disconnecting everything else on the network, but that didn't help. Even tried rebooting the modem and router, but no help.
