Re:Film Download

[gep]

Hello all, thought i would ask here first before choosing a film download site.

Could you tell me a good Movie download website, legit of course, where i can download and burn to DVD?

Been looking at these http://www.downloadingmoviessites.com/

Been conned once a while ago, don't want to be again.

Thanks, GEP

This is a site that advocates the use of P2P file sharing programs which means that the downloads will be mostly illegal. Here's a quote from the site that says this pretty clearly.

"Ok, so what do you need to do ? Simple, get a Downloading Software for a remote connection between people all over the world"

What you'd be paying them for is the alleged info on how to do it legally which usually means they try to advocate some grey area that falsely creates the impression that it's all legal. For example they might suggest that downloading films via P2P from a specific third world country is not illegal and then tell you some method of using that countries laws to get the movies.

I'd avoid this site completely.

Hello Fink and all, thanks. Will ask the question again.

Movie download sites, legal ones, are still not that common. They only have limited numbers of films or older classics. eg-

http://www.cinemanow.com/

And most only offer streaming movies and don't give you the option of downloading and burning them.

Hello Fink, thanks for the link.

Just wanted to see what options there are for downloading movies.

Thanks, GEP

they just started to sell their movies, before you can only view them as a Pay-Per-View, but now you can by them and burn them.

Ahhhh didn't know it was not available to folks outside of the United States. How did you know to look for that? I take it that you tried and that you are outside of the United States?

movielink.com does a fast lookup on your internet address when you access the site. If it's from an ISP outside of the US you get that message (and more)
