A file is a file is a file...

It's not "their" bandwidth; it's "my" bandwidth--I'm paying for it, so I expect to use it in any legal way I see fit.

couldn't have said it better myself. Looks like I'm going to have to buy that 750GB or 1TB external esata drive sooner than I thought...

Correct, a file is a file is a file.
Let me check, there's 3 South Park episodes, 1 movie, and an ubercool Halo 3 screenshot on my 360, all HD. And I used my bandwidth to get it.

No you do not selfish one. You only had paid for access to a shared resource. When you pay for 1.5 or 10Megs you are sharing that line with other users. The network is made of two wires: tip and ring. Ones excessive download can effect the quality of the network for all users on the node.

Networks aren't about good faith or being courteous to your neighbor. Why should a user be expected to act in good faith to a corporation that has proven time and time again that they cannot uphold the same moral standard. There are a lot of martyrs in this world today that are really just greedy reward seekers in disguise. There reward is their holier than though moral high ground soap box or whatever you want to call it.

That's right: first come, first served. That's exactly what I'm paying for... just like everyone else.
