I have found that it actually downloads two files but the SD usually overwrites the HD version, so you're left with just one video file.

In order to combat it, I renamed the HD file after it downloaded and then resumed the SD download. That seemed to work pretty well.

Hopefully Apple fixed that little bug soon.

The HD copy must be hidden then and I will have to dig for it. Those specs are from what I just simply dragged to the desktop out of iTunes.

*update* That is only movie file I can find for that episode in my itunes folder structure. Either that is as HD as it gets or they don't give you the HD for free despite what the iTunes store indicated.

Um...George, When you download an HD video, it also downloads the SD version...That is what copied to your iPod Touch...The actual HD version of that episode is 1.5GB. I am downloading now, so i cannot tell you the resolution & bitrate on that file. Just download another free episode...30 Rock, Secrets & lies...Watch your download queue & see it has 2x downloads for the same video! Thanks for the Post though!
