I'm thinking about getting NetFlix but with a download speed cap'ed at 60kb/s (there is no better ISP around here) It'd take me 4+ hours to download a 480 movie.

My question is can i download part/all of a move (or buffer the bulk of it) on NetFiix before playing?

If not is there any alternative websites that will allow me too?

netflix picks a quality based on your net connection so it should still work fine

New question.

Got my internet upgrade to 90-95kb/s would I be-able to stream netflix 360/480 (with max buffering at start)? I can stream hulu 360 but 480 is iffy.

on netflix you do not pick the resolution, it picks it for you depending on what your speed is. You should be fine, so times it might be a little grainy but thats it.
idk where you are that they have internet speeds in kb/s and not mb/s lol
