It was changed to Jupiter for the movie because Stanley Kubrick couldn't find a good image of Saturn (this was 1968, so a lot of the great images we have today didn't exist.) The book retains the original planet of Saturn, yet strangely it gets changed to Jupiter in the later books (I guess to be canon with the movie?)

Excuse my ignorance, but when they say 250 GB, I assume they mean 250 GB of downstream and upstream usage combined? With P2P usage, wouldn't this cause that 250 GB to go really quickly?

Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
