File sharing is by far the most popular way to obtain internet movie downloads.
It is much less expensive than other options, and you can often
find movies long before they are released in the video stores!
Peer to peer file sharing software, often referred to as p2p file
sharing, is very impressive. Movies and music files are downloaded
from many different computers at the same time to increase the download
speed.
If you happen to lose your connection or turn off your computer, the movie
download will restart from where it left off next time you connect.
You can find almost anything you can imagine on a file
sharing network. You will find full movie downloads, video
clips, music and more.
Disadvantages include potential copyright issues and reliance on the general
public for video and file quality. The quality is usually very good, but
"pre-release" videos are often made available by someone smuggling a
video camera into the movie theater!
So if you want to stick with DVD quality movie downloads, you may want to
avoid downloading titles you know are not yet available in the video
stores.
Pay attention when loading the software to the location of the "shared folder",
this is where you will find your movie downloads. Be aware that most peer
to peer software comes preset to allow others access to your shared
folder.
This is in the spirit of "file-sharing", the system would not work
if people were not willing to share. Most p2p software allows
you to change this setting to disallow or limit sharing from your
computer, while still allowing you to download files.
You may want to consider this if you are concerned about
copyright issues or want to ensure your internet connection speed is
not impacted by others uploading files from your computer.
If you aren't sure how to do this with the service you choose, just be
sure to close down the software when your movie downloads are finished.
If you do allow sharing of files from your own computer be careful not
to place private or sensitive material in your shared folder.
Despite these considerations, peer to peer file sharing is still the most
popular way to download movies. Check out our Movie
