Here’s How To Download Movies Online – Am I A Bad Friend?
I recently received an email from a friend asking if she could borrow a DVD of “Godzilla”. I wrote back telling her to quit bugging me and just download it.
While I was more polite about it that that, I think he was a little taken aback at first!
My point was that he didn’t need to go and find the DVD. All you need anytime you want to watch a movie is an internet connection.
I’ve been getting an increasing number of questions about what the best way to download movies online is and whether there is anywhere on the web with a good selection of films.
First, let me assure you that, yes, there is an enormous selection of movies available online. Not only can my friend find Godzilla, but she can choose from all the latest releases as well as old favorites. In fact, you have more to choose from online than any video store can offer.
Ok, now that that’s out of the way, let’s cover the more important question – Where can I download movies online?
First, I think it’s important to mention where NOT to go to download movies. There are a number of “shareware” programs such as Kazaa or Limewire that people use to find music, movies or other files online. These don’t work too badly for music, but for movies they are horrendous.
These networks may have some movies, but they also are completely unmonitored, so you never know what you are really downloading ? you can easily catch a virus this way. You never know just what you are downloading from these networks.
These networks also suffer from a poor selection and slow download speeds.
Movies are of course very large files. These peer to peer programs can take as long as a few days to download a movie; the speeds can be incredibly slow. You will also have the problem of sparse selection compared to your other options.
There are also paid download sites out there. There are many pay-per-download sites. You can look for the movie you want, pay a fee (about $10, usually) and download the movie quickly on a secure connection.
While this is not necessarily bad choice, there are cheaper ways to download movies.
There are membership-based movie download websites which allow you to download unlimited movies for a onetime fee; usually about $30-$50. You can then download all the movies you want, whenever you want.
These sites are a great alternative to pay per download sites since there is only a onetime fee and unlimited access to an enormous selection of movies. The download speeds are fast and the files are guaranteed to be virus free.
The best of these membership sites will also give you software to burn these movies to DVD so that you aren’t limited to watching them on your computer.
Did my friend find Goodfellas?
He sure did. And I doubt he’ll ask me to borrow any more DVDs soon!
With an increasing number of people looking to the web for movie downloads, you’ll see the number of brick and mortar video stores declining. Downloading movies, after all, is easy ? you can find all your favorites without even leaving the house!
