No problems with bandwidth. Watched the lot with 1.3GB to spare.
Had a quick look on my iPod Touch today. Saw the External Fuel Tank floating away although I didn't see the tank burn up. Does anyone know if those replays are available?

Replay of? External tank burnup video is rare. I think it occurs somewhere over the Pacific and I've only ever seen one bit of footage of that event.
Here is a reference to it:-
"the tank detaches from the orbiter and breaks up in the atmosphere. This whole process happens over French Polynesia where there are very very few people There's not too many videos of it actually exploding, although I have tracked one down. Go to nasa . gov, search for Marshall Space Flight Center, click on their home page, and then in their search box, type in "STS 29 External tank" and it should be the second thing that comes up. For some reason it's not allowing me to link"
