Downloading movies, music, games, and even TV shows via the Internet is
slowly but surely becoming the preferred method for content delivery.
You can quickly search and download your favorite movie and watch it at
you leisure. There are several methods for downloading movies online,
but the needs they fulfill very greatly.
If you here, you're obviously interested in movies, but there is no
way to determine what type of movies, or what method you're looking
for. You may want free, paid, DVD quality, High-Definition, new
releases, or classic movie downloads. For these reasons, I've included
the various methods and listed the top websites that will bring any
movie buff instant gratification.
Peer-To-Peer
PTP file sharing is one way to get free movie downloads.
The way this works is you share files with other individuals. I'll give
a brief explanation, but those who are familiar with PTP should skip
ahead, or go download a free file sharing program like Kazaa Lite. With
PTP, everyone connects to a network and you download the files, or
movies in this case, from others who have the file your looking for. At
the same time, others are uploading files from your computer. This may
not sound very safe, but it is. The only files you share are those you
include in a specific shared folder. If you're not familiar with file
sharing, this can be somewhat complicated depending on the service you
use. There are also some legality issues. At the time of this writing,
it is perfectly legal to download files like movies, music, etc., but
it may not be legal to share them with others.
In a nut shell, you can get totally free, full length, dvd quality
movies, but if your not familiar with PTP file sharing, I recommend
using software which is totally free but has an available support team
to guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.
One such website is TheMovieDownloads.com.
The software is free, but full support requires a one-time nominal fee.
The one great thing about downloading movies using PTP is, not only are
all movies free, but the selection is unlimited.
Download free movies, TV shows, games, even watch TV on your PC at our Download Mall.
Paid Movie Download Service. Fortunately, there are much easier ways to get DVD quality movie
downloads via the Internet with no legality issues. These are well
known and trusted websites which make downloading your favorite movie
easy, and as I stated, there is no question of legality.
Amazonunbox™
allows you to easily search a wide selection of movies and TV shows.
You can buy, rent, or download your favorite movies anytime and prices
are very reasonable. Downloading requires a copy of their free movie
player to be installed on you computer. You can watch these movies on
you computer (PC or Mac), or on your television (with the proper
connections). The only drawback is a downloaded movie cannot be burned
onto a DVD. Learn more about Amazonunbox here.
Cinemanow
is another well known and totally legal movie service. They have a
great selection of movies, TV shows, and music concerts available for
purchase, rental and of course download (parental controls also
included). The great thing about Cinemanow is they make it easy to burn
movies onto DVD (including High-Def formats), so you can watch them
with any standard or HD-DVD player, and their service comes with great
costumer support at no extra charge. Here's what they have to say about
the unique DVD burning service:
CinemaNow's most recent and much acclaimed service
offering, Burn to DVD, represents a landmark in digital distribution
and a true innovation in home entertainment. This revolutionary new
service enables consumers to legally download a complete DVD, play it
back on PC and burn one copy of the file to a blank DVD disc. The disc
can then be played in virtually any DVD player with full remote control
navigation and access to all of the special features.
Check out Cinemanow.
DVD movie downloads with torrents.
Another way to download free movies online is to use torrents. This is
similar to Peer-To-Peer file sharing, but works a little differently
and is actually quite simple. You download a small and free torrent
program like uTorrent or Bitcomet and go to one of the torrent sites. Mininova is a favorite, but you can do a Google search for "torrent serach"
to find several others. These websites do not host the movie files
themselves. They simply provide a way to search for and download
torrents.
It's not as complicated as it sounds. Once you have the software,
you simply go to one of the torrent sites and search for your movie. If
there is a torrent available, you simply download it and you software
does the rest of the work. Unlike PTP file sharing, your only
downloading a small file which is the torrent. Others across the world
have pieces of the actual file on their computers. Availability depends
on whether or not their are enough pieces available to make a whole
file. But, you don't really have to understand all this. Just download
the torrent software, go to a torrent site, and search for the movie
you want, then download the torrent.
Looking for some free classics?
There are dozens of websites where you can get fully downloadable
movies, trailers, documentaries, scripts, cult classics, and the like.
You won't find many new releases here, but if your interested in the
above, About.com has come up with a great list of free movie download sites.
These movies are in the public domain and most of them are downloadable
to your computer, and can be watched on your monitor, TV, or burned
onto a DVD.
Enjoy your movies. If you have any questions about the above information, please use the comment section below.
