An interesting concept, but if they can't feed the mp4 file faster than that, not many are going to download his TV show.

P.S> they are feeding this not directly from pbs.org. It is redirected: »www.pbs.org/hplink/redir/http://···v001.mp4
Some company in Hoboken named Datapipe is serving the file. They aren't doing a very good job of it.
