I mean wouldn't that be really cool for a bandwidth hogging program.  Hell
even make throttle bandwidth an option because that would be super super cool!

So I *do* think it's a cool idea, but here are the problems:

  I can easily pick a bandwidth throttle for downloads from the tivo, however, I
think this would be a first-case where anyone has complained that the tivo is
downloading too fast... (tivo already won't really let you download anything quickly).

  There *is* a different problem with the fact that when the encode is going on, a
LOT of cpu power is taken up by the computer, and it slows everything down.

  I can't pause downloads from the tivo (any attempt to do so will cause the tivo to
time out and then you'd have to redownload the whole show from scratch).  it *is*
possible to pause the encoders, although I'll leave that as a 'feature enhancement'
for the future.

  In the meanwhile, if it's slowing down your machine significantly, the easiest
solution might be to configure iTiVo to do the downloads at night (there's a
scheduling thing in the preferences).  Just add the shows you want to the queue, and
iTiVo will fetch them whenever you schedule the downloads.
