Hah!  How wish that was the case.  Some people will understand why
their internet connection is slow but that doesn't mean they will put
up with large content.  The Internet is a big place with plenty of
sites that are bandwidth-aware.

I have found that people will wait for a large file if they conclude
the wait is worth it.  This means you have to tell them why they
should wait and about how long they should wait.
