By now people are discovering that downloading movies on the internet is great. It makes the films you want accessible at the tip of your fingers.

Having this technology is great, it makes watching movie movies so much easier, however the question is, are these movies Blu-ray quality? Are they living up vrs a Blu-ray?

They are the questions anybody can ask, and it will depend on what quality of the movie your downloading as well as the file type. For starters what you want to download is always a Divx Movie. Divx files will be the newest sort of files. What they do is they compress the audio and video and turn a normaly huge file in to a new file that is about one third the size.

Whenever 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 as 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 via the internet will take from 2 to eight hours depending your connection, so I always recommend to download them from a high speed internet access computer. You also want to ensure you have over 500 MB's of free disk space at minimum, and if you have over 1GB that is optimal.

You will find various software programs that provide you access to download movies online. A number of them are good, because they have high speed downloads. You will discover places where downloading movies is based on a P2P system (peer to peer), meaning that you'll be downloading the movie from another user. These can be great because you may get the most effective movies faster, although sometimes you need 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 that you are getting them for free. You pay for a one time fee and after that 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 also you download Ace Ventura thinking you were going to get Scarface.

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