Xbox Live Hits 24 Million Downloads

Thanks to the 'E3 at Home' initiative, Xbox Live has served up 24 million pieces of content, and connected 1.5 million gamers. From the article: "Over 600 terabytes of data were transferred over the network during the week, a figure which represents 30 times more data than is found in all the printed material in the US Library of Congress, according to Microsoft games boss Peter Moore, who thankfully did not go on to provide the standard British comparison of telling us how many double decker buses it equates to."

This is apparently being adressed, so hopefully we'll see this being sorted soon. I downloaded the Tomb Raider Legends demo recently, and while I'm happy you can do this finally, I had go do something else for the hour it took to download (on a 4MB connection no less - the download service is obviously capped).
