Pass The Popcorn! The Easy Way To Download Movies Online...

By Sam Timlin

If you're a movie lover, then hopefully this article will help you make sure you can catch all your favorite flicks whenever you want. One of the most common questions we receive is "How can I download movies online", so we thought a quick article on the subject would be worthwhile.

The internet makes both popular movies as well as rarely available films obtainable to you, with a few simple clicks of the mouse.

If you want to be able to download movies online, you have three main options to choose from:

Option #1 - "Shareware" Software

There are a number of shareware programs floating on the internet where people share files with each other. Programs like Kazaa and Limewire are two examples.

Many people try to download movies from these sites, however we have to caution you about this. These programs are unmonitored and many of the files have viruses or are corrupt. Another huge complain is that it can be extremely difficult to find what you're looking for and the download speeds are painfully slow at times.

Option #2 - Paid Download Services

Some websites allow you to download movies to your computer for some charge. The fees should be around ten dollars a movie. The reason why these websites have flourished is that they have a good database and the process of downloading is uncomplicated.

Not a bad option, but there are less expensive ways to download movies online.

Option #3 - Membership based movie download sites

Another option you might want to consider is websites that proffer unlimited movie downloads to their members. These websites charge around $35-$45 to register your user name and password, following which, you can log-in to the website anytime, to download the movies of your choice.

These sites are fast gaining an advantage over others. They have phenomenal collections. They stick new releases alongside old classics, and most of them have links to music and TV show downloads too.

These sites are run by professional businesses, so they are authenticated and download speeds are high. This way, you are safe from viruses and don't waste much time.

A very convenient option also offered by some of these websites, is that you can burn your downloaded films onto DVDs so that they can be played back on your DVD player.

Downloading movies from the internet is a great emerging trend, that makes life that much easier for a film enthusiast. This way, you can avoid entirely, the hassle of going down to your local video store, every time you want to watch a film, this saves you a lot of time and money, given that video stores often enough, don't have the film you are looking for, and are a lot more expensive than movie downloads. - 15465
