360 Movies: Man what?

So I got a movie on my 360, via the marketplace. Going well. QUality's great, etc etc. Problem. About halfway through the movie, I get an error message. "Can't play this video while it's downloading"

What the hell? I was halfway through! What's this madness?! And talk about the marketplace media and such if you want as well.

    I'm assuming you hit the point it was currently at in the download.

    probably the connection speed went down with all the demo downloading from e3 and you hit the part that's not downloaded yet?

    I had no idea this thing even let you watch it like that. Well shit. What happens if the connection craps out and I can't finish watching in the next..22 hours or so?

    And how the hell do I even know if it's done for that matter?

    Not sure if of what happens if you don't get connection back within the 24 hours.

    As for the end of the download, you can check the active downloads list, and I think that when the movie finishes downloading you get one of those little achievement like warnings.
