The other day, I got an email from a friend asking if he could borrow my DVD of “Scarface”. I wrote him back and told him to stop bothering me and just download it.
Well, I put it more tactfully than that; but I think I threw her off a little at first.
What I was trying to convey to her was that she didn’t need to go track down the DVD. If you want to watch a movie, all you really need is an internet connection.
More and more people have been asking us what the best way to download movies online is, and whether it is possible to find a big selection online.
First off – yes, the selection of movies online is huge online. You can easily find a movie like Goodfellas, along with all the new releases and movies from the past. You will find a far better selection online than you would in any video store.
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about the question so many of you have ? “Where can I download movies online?”
It’s important to say where you shouldn’t go to download movies. Avoid peer-to-peer networks like LimeWire and Kazaa. While these are OK for find music, they are a very poor choice for movies.
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.
This isn’t a bad choice, but you can get movies much cheaper than this.
You can also choose to go with membership based movie download websites. These sites charge a onetime fee for unlimited access to the movies on the website. This fee is usually somewhere between 30 and 50 dollars ? you can download all the movies you like at any time after paying this membership fee.
The nice thing about this service is that you have the ability to download any movie you want simply for paying the one-time membership fee. The selection is massive and the downloads are both fast and guaranteed to be virus-free.
The good membership sites will also provide software that lets you burn the movies onto DVD so you can watch them on your TV instead of just your computer.
Did my friend find Godzilla?
She did. And I don’t think she’ll be asking me to loan her any DVDs anytime soon!
With more and more people going online to find movie downloads, it shouldn’t surprise you to gradually see a decline in the number of video stores in your area. Downloading movies is a great way to find your favorite flick without even needing to leave the house! Enjoy!
