How do you do with the first method of downloading movie from the Internet? I hope you’ve got some movie for this Easter long weekend. Here is the second method for you to download movie even faster and more reliable than the previous one.
2. Downloading movie using the intermediary hosts/servers:
This method is quite simple if you follow exactly my steps. However, if you want to understand this method deeply, you should prepare some basic Windows knowledge (I assume that you equipped it with you already).
Step 1: Prepare an Internet download manager software
| There are many software that support downloading files from the Internet. They usually speed up the downloading process, and moreover, keep it stable. The most popular software on the Internet are Internet Download Manager (IDM), FlashGet, GetRight, and Internet Download Accelerator. Some of them are free trial versions, but to get better performance, you should buy a full versions.What are you waiting for? Download one of them and have it installed on your computers. |
Step 2: Download files combining software such as WinRAR and File Splitter & Joiner
Friends, just download these 2 recommended software and install them on your computers. Don’t worry, there is no hidden trojan/virus with these software. You can download them here
WinRAR
File Splitter & Joiner
Step 3: Search Movie from forum
There are more and more people use forum/discussion board for communication on the Internet. If you have used forum before, you should know what to do next, right? Go and find some topics that give you download links for movie. For those who have no experience with forum before, here are what you should do:
- Register to movie forum to be their members. If don’t know any forum that have movie download sections, see my recommended list below. Remember to ACTIVATE your accounts with those forum by checking activation email and click on the activation link(s).
- Login with you username and password, and search movie by using the search function of those forums. (Find the Search box!) Got the movie yet? (If not, double check your search keywords). See example. Click on the topics that have the movie you want (Example movie list) and you will see some download links (Download Links Example). Copy each of them, paste on another browser window. Follow the instructions of those hosts. Most of the time you will have to wait for them to create download links for you. If you don’t want to wait. Pay fees for those hosts.
Step 4: Download files with your download manager software
Remember the download support software that you have just installed on your computers? Now it is the time for you to use it. Some of the hosts will let those program download files directly from them with free accounts, some doesn’t allow that. Here are what you should do next:
- Wait for the download button available, right-click on it, copy download link.
- Open your download software, paste download link. Click Start download.
- Repeat these steps for the rest of the download links from the forum. Remember that you have to download all the links for joining purpose later on.
Step 5: Joining movie files into 1 single file
The files that you have just downloaded cannot be open with any movie program. You will received error if doing that. The download files could be (part1, part2, …, part15) format or (001, 002, …, 009) format or (__a, __b, …, __k) format. Each of them you have to use different software to join.
WinRAR: used to join part1, part2, …, partN format. To join, right-click on any files, Choose Extract Here. (If the software asks for password, please double check the forum, the password should be provided by uploaders.)
Files Splitter & Joiner: used to join (001,002…) format and (__a, __b) format. To join, open the program and See this picture for the joining steps.
You are done!
If the movie cannot be open, you will need to download some codecs to watch them. Here are some of codecs, have one of them installed on your computers: K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, XP Codec Pack

Conclusion
As you can see, the methods of downloading movie/music/software are very easy to use. I hope this post is detailed enough for you to understand the process and practice it.
