- Doesn't work on Firefox
- Lengthy registration process
- Then had to download and install their MovieLink Manager
- Time restrictions: 30 days to start watching once you download, 24 hours to finish once you start watching. I bought 3 movies, but one of them expired because I didn't watch it in time.
- Video quality is not that good (xvid is better)
- Defaults to their crappy player, but can view with WMP if you browse to the directoyr on the HD - c:\program flies\movielink\data\content\xxx\
- SLOW downloads!!! Probably the worst part. Between 700k-1Mbps on average.
- Andromeda Strain: $1.99, 4.5 hours to download!!!!
- They flash annoying, flashing ads all over the place while you are downloading
- Way too many steps to rent a movie -- need "one click"
- No reviews, or a way to sort by reviews, or ways to sort by most popular (need merger with IMDB)
- Leaves a freakin' process running in the background all the time, sucking up 7-10MB of RAM!!
- They don't let you delete/cancel/close your account from the web!!
