Not yet. Only 20 or so of the full frames of the descent have been downloaded so far. Will probably be a day or more before they are all down.

You can see the frames that are down here: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?s=0

Thanks for the pointer. This really brought home to me the 'baud rate' issue of interplanetary communication.

Right now, I'm so used to streaming movies at home that I forget the challenges of communications across such vast distances .

Perhaps our children/grand-children will be using the faster interplanetary internet and will recall these days with the same whimsy as we do now our twisted-pair modem days.

I'd like to see someone make an animated .gif with those images.
