NBC.com is my bane

So i have been having trouble keeping up with Heroes because i can't find it on the internet in a format that i can actually watch. i have no idea why DSL should be so much worse than cable was last season, but it apparently is. NBC now stops and starts about every 15s. It took me two hours to watch the first 5-10 minutes of Heroes last night, so i finally just gave up and started downloading it off of Mininova via utorrent. i even tried downloading their new program where you download episodes in HD, but i can't even install the program because their downloader for the installer won't finish, it always has an error.

i don't have this many problems with ABC or Fox, though they do sometimes stop and start a little, it's never to this extent. If i pause for a second and then play again that usually fixes it. What i want to know is why all of this is set up so that it has to be streamed instead of loading like on YouTube. It would work so much better.
