How To Download Online Movies

By Larry Tryings

There has been a new trend growing in the last few years. The improvements in internet speeds and advancements in computers have made downloading movies feasible. This has caused a new internet industry to emerge.

Years ago people started exchanging music files online, but with movies the file was just too big. As the internet speeds started to increase this started to change. Then with clever program designs, like BiTorrent, movie download times became reasonable, and they have become very popular.

Streaming video is one fairly recent form of movie download viewing. With a stream the download is not permanently put on your computer. A buffer is established hopefully to ensure the stream is not stopped due to a slow in the download.

The poor picture quality you get with many streaming videos is a calculated choice to let more people see the streams. If they have slower internet connections a stream of higher picture quality will not load fast enough and constantly pause as the download catches up.

People who do P2P downloading are coming under the scrutiny of the law in regards to copyright infringements. The person doing downloads would just claim they are sharing their purchased item with someone they wish to. The movie industry sees it a bit different. There are no definitive laws established regarding this yet.

The gray areas of the law are that the access to the equipment that would allow an "illegal' download to occur is not illegal in itself. So providing a person with a BitTorrent, for example, would be no different than providing a person with a car. If that person used that car to make a getaway during a robbery, that would not make the sale of the car illegal.

Netflix, the number one online movie rental store has added movie download concepts to its means of movie access for its members. You can watch unlimited movies from a 12,000 film library on your computer (or TV through an Xbox 360 live account) through instant access movie download streams. This is a company using downloads to its advantage.

Even Amazon is jumping on the movie download bandwagon. They are now offering movies for purchase through downloads. Companies like this will be putting pressure on the video stores as people start getting comfortable downloading and not having to leave the house.

Once you have your movie download on your computer it is wise to transfer the movie to free up your hard drive. You can store movies on an external hard drive, or burn them to DVDs so you can watch them anywhere. This looks to be the wave of the future.

When you start to look at movie download sites make sure you do some good research if you go away from the big names. It is easy to wind up with downloads that are poor quality and not pleasant to watch. Don't get stuck with a bad group of movie downloads, do your home work.

The movie download industry will only grow and improve. Movies should become even cheaper with this type of delivery system. The big companies are now starting to enter this booming industry, and this should have an impact on everything about buying and renting downloads. This should only benefit us, the consumers.
