By now people are discovering that downloading movies on the internet 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, though the question is, are these movies Blu-ray quality? Are they living up vrs a Blu-ray?

These are the questions anybody can ask, and it relies on what quality of the film your downloading as well as the file type. For starters what you want to download is definitely a Divx Movie. Divx files are the newest sort of files. What they do is they compress the audio and video and turn a normaly huge file into a new file that's about one-third the size.

When you download a divx movie, it has a great 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 movie, and enjoy it, then I shall go ahead and buy it as a Blu-ray.

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

There are actually various software programs that provide you access to download movies online. A number of them are good, given that they have high speed downloads. There are actually places where downloading movies is determined by a P2P system (peer to peer), which means that you'll be downloading the movie from another user. These may be great because you can get the best movies faster, although sometimes you have 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 view free movie. You pay for a one time fee and then you just fire up the software and you'll inmediately start downloading movies. These are great, but just be warned that you could find the ocational user that confuses the title's and also you download Ace Ventura thinking you were going to get Scarface.

All in all of the downloading movies can 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.
