A growing number of people are downloading movies, games, music, as well as other such media files every day on the web. Movie downloads certainly, are getting more popular as less movie enthusiasts want to deal with the inconvenience of movie rental stores. The freedom of having the capacity to seek out virtually any movie, download it, and watch it any time you wish is a very enticing proposition. Because this is becoming such a popular practice, there are several individuals who are captivated but still have some unanswered questions. As such, I would want to do a quick F.A.Q. on the topic of downloading movies online.

Is it legal to download movies online? This could really depend of a number of things, especially what and where you download from. There are many illegal, pirated movie files floating around the net, and they are not all that hard to find if you are trying to find them. But, you will discover plenty of places where you can find and download movies legitimately and legally. These places, on the other hand, do typically charge some sort of fee for their services.

How do movie download sites work? Essentially all of them work on the same principal, which is essentially a large P2P filesharing network, virtually identical to how NAPSTER works. Rather than storing the specific movie files on their server, and having people download directly from them (which takes up plenty of space and eats up a great deal of bandwidth), they utilize Peer to Peer (P2P) software to allow people to download files from others who have what they may be looking for. The larger the network, the easier it's to seek out what you are looking for, as well as the faster your download will be (since you are downloading from multiple sources at once).

Is this dangerous? Will I get computer viruses doing this? Unfortunately, there is always a real risk of catching computer viruses when downloading files off the web. Usually, downloading from paid membership sites is safe, since they remove files reported and found to be infected or corrupt. The truth is, this really is usually what you are paying for whenever you sign up to one of these sites, as most of your money is going towards maintaining their network and directories, and paying for technical and customer support. The actual downloading software is commonly free.

Always make certain you have up to date virus protection software, especially if you choose to download from free sources. There are several free full movie - Find Out More - anti-virus programs available if you don't have one. I've been using one from Avast lately and have found it to be great overall.

How long does it normally take to download an entire movie? This can depend upon several factors, including your internet connection, the size of the file, and how lots of individuals within the network are sharing that file. By and large, on a 56.6 Kbps modem, a 3 MB file takes about 7 minutes. With a fast connection, and a fair amount of "seeders," an entire movie can be downloaded in a matter of hours. Many movie files are around 700 MB or so. I usually just set my movies to download overnight while I sleep.
