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, though the question is, are these movies Blu-ray quality? Are they living up vrs a Blu-ray?

These are the questions anyone can ask, and it depends on what quality of the movie your downloading and the file type. For starters what you want to download is always 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 post from Mindtory file that 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 can 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 the fact that I actually download movies as samples. If I download the film, and enjoy it, then I will go ahead and buy it as a Blu-ray.

Downloading Blu-ray quality movies online takes 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 is optimal.

You'll find various software programs that give you access to download movies online. A number of them are good, since they have high speed downloads. You will discover places where downloading movies is according to a P2P system (peer to peer), that means that you are downloading the film from another user. These can be great because you may get the top movies faster, although sometimes you should be careful 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 the fact that you are getting them for free. You pay for a one time fee and then you just fire up the software and you will inmediately start downloading movies. These are great, but just be warned that you could find the ocational user that confuses the title's and you download Ace Ventura thinking you were going to get Scarface.

All in all downloading movies can be great, just ensure you support the movie industry and also you buy the Blu-ray's you like, and always go to the films to watch them.
