How to play movies while downloading in iTunes 7

When downloading content from the iTunes music store, depending on your bandwidth it might take more than 30 minutes. But not to worry, you can now watch the things you're downloading as they download.

Whenever the Downloads list shows up under the store section in iTunes 7, you can open up the interface by clicking on Downloads, and then selecting the item that is downloading -- double-click to open that particular download. It will open up, and you can watch the content as it's downloading. Try it now with an iTunes account and some of the free content (US store only). Hopefully this helps people with not quite greatest bandwidth.

[robg adds: This was mentioned in the iTunes PR event, but the process for watching while downloading doesn't seem to be documented in Help. And yes, it's relatively simple, but not necessarily obvious, so now it's documented.]
