I remember downloading like a 1GB RealVideo video (over 56k dialup) of a South Park episode as a kid because we didn't have Comedy Central and I wanted to see it since everyone was talking about it at the time. I remember nothing else about the format aside it being advertised as super high def but the files were also massive and hard to find in the first place because NOBODY used it.
