As long as I can get 4.3Gb 720p MKV's in an hour or two I'll be fine

Can you even tell the difference between HD and SD anime? I'm asking seriously; I don't know. It would seem to me that a less compressed, lower-resolution anime would look better than highly compressed HD anime.
On topic, though, I think you already can. Let's round it to 4 GB, or 32 Gb. This means you need a 16 Gb/hr minimum connection. This works out to 16/3600, or a 4.5 Mb/s connection - very doable. In fact, many people have a cable connection this fast. I have a fast connection and can download 2 700 MB DivX videos in 20-30 minutes (about 1.3 MB/s or 11 Mb/s)

I wasn't talking about anime, when did I mention anime??
HD looks so much smarter that SD when it comes to movies like LotR, Transformers etc. So much so I'm taking HD for granted now, and I'm seeing DVDrips or R5s the same way as I previously saw a good TS or a TC. BTW all bluray/hddvd movie rips are compressed to DVD5 or DVD9 in .MKV

Sorry, I just normally associate mkv with anime.
