By now people are discovering that downloading movies from the web is great. It makes the movies you want accessible look at these guys 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?

Those are the questions anybody can ask, and it relies on what quality of the movie your downloading and the file type. For starters what you want to download is a Divx Movie. Divx files will be the newest type of files. What they do is they compress the audio and video and turn a normaly huge file into 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 is not exactly like a Blu-ray but it may be good sufficient to stay at home downloading your movie.

When you download your movies, it's pretty easy to burn them onto a Blu-ray and watch them as many times when 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 will go ahead and buy it as a Blu-ray.

Downloading Blu-ray quality movies on the internet can take from 2 to eight 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 have over 500 MB's of free disk space at minimum, and if you have over 1GB that is optimal.

You can find various software programs that give you access to download movies online. Some of them are good, given that they have high speed downloads. You can find places where downloading movies is according to a P2P system (peer to peer), that means that you'll be downloading the movie from another user. These may be great because you may get the top movies faster, although sometimes you have to be cautious 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 may 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 all downloading movies may be great, just make sure you support the film industry and you buy the Blu-ray's you like, and always go to the films to watch them.
