By now people are discovering that downloading movies on the web is great. It makes the movies you want accessible at the tip of your fingers.

Having this technology is great, it makes watching movies so much easier, although the question is, are these movies Blu-ray quality? Are they living up vrs a Blu-ray?

They are the questions anybody can ask, and it will depend on what quality of the movie your downloading and also the file type. For starters what you want to download is definitely a Divx Movie. Divx files are the newest type of files. What they do is they compress the audio and video and turn a normaly huge file in to a new file which is about one-third the size.

Whenever you download a divx movie, it has a good Blu-ray quality to it. It's not exactly like a Blu-ray but it may be good sufficient to stay at home downloading your movie.

Whenever you download your movies, it's pretty easy to burn them onto a Blu-ray and watch them as many times while you like. But what I like to recommend, and do myself, is that I actually download movies as samples. If I download the film, and enjoy it, then I shall go ahead and buy it as a Blu-ray.

Downloading Blu-ray quality movies over the internet may take from 2 to 8 hours depending your connection, so I always recommend to download them from a high speed internet access computer. Additionally you want to make sure you've got over 500 MB's of free disk space at minimum, and should you have over 1GB that's optimal.

There are actually various software programs that offer you access to download movies online. A lot of them are good, while they have high speed downloads. You will find places where downloading movies is according to a P2P system (peer to peer), that means that you will be downloading the movie from another user. These may be great because you can get the very best movies faster, although sometimes you need to be mindful that the titles are confusing, meaning that you download one title thinking it was another one.

The advantage when downloading movies from these programs is that you are getting them for free movie. You pay for a one time fee and then you just fire up the software and you will inmediately start downloading movies. They are great, but just be warned that you might find the ocational user that confuses the title's and you download Ace Ventura thinking you were going to obtain Scarface.

All in most downloading movies may be great, just make certain you support the movie industry and you buy the Blu-ray's you like, and always go to the films to watch them.
