All my friends recently have asked me that how we can download movie from the Internet. I answered them that I needed time to do research and summarize methods that people often use to download movie. And here is my report for my “research:”

There are many methods for us to download from the Internet. The 2 most common method nowadays are using peer-to-peer network software (such as Kazaa, LimeWire) and using intermediary hosts to down/upload movie (or any files).

1. Downloading by peer-to-peer software

I’m pretty sure that this is the easiest method that we can download movie from the Internet. Why? Because we only have to download the software (for free) and install them on our computers. After the installation, type any movie that your like in the search box. Boom! A list of movie from different hosts appears. Just click on any of the, click download and wait until the downloading processes complete. Yes, that’s simple.

You can download P2P software here:

• Kazaa
• Lime Wire

Why are some people afraid of using peer-to-peer software?

There are several key reasons:

• It’s is too risky when downloading files from peer-to-peer network. Who can guarantee that your computers you are safe when some anonymous “friends” share their files to you? Most of peer-to-peer downloading users easily get virus/trojans/worm after they use peer-to-peer software if they don’t be careful. Because of your safety, I don’t recommend you to use those peer-to-peer software if you don’t have enough time and/or technique to protect yourselves from the risks of peer-to-peer networks.
• The speeds for downloading are really dependent on the number of sharing users. For example, at this moment, the P2P network has 1000 users sharing a 700MB movie with a speed of 350KB/s. However, after that, the number of users drops down rapidly to 100 users, which take you 10 times longer to finish the whole movie. That’s is not the worst situation. The worst one is 99% of the movie is done, there is, unfortunately, no users online/store that movie on their computers anymore. What can you do?
• The basic versions of P2P software don’t give us the relevant search results. We often get unwanted movie when we do a search. Most importantly, we have to spend more and more time just for searching, and then (sometimes) get nothing. If you want to get better result, buy pro/advanced versions. Nothing is for free indeed.

Because nothing is for free, you should know that the second method of downloading movie/files will costs you money. I will continue the second method in the very next post. You can check it later.
