Movie Downloads Often Torrent Sharing

By Raymond Rodriquez

Through movie downloads, you can enjoy blockbusters even without renting a DVD or going to a movie house. With just a computer and broadband internet connection, you can get movies from other people online. Imagine the convenience this means provide among movie buffs.

There are tons of online sites where they can pay for their regular dose of movies. However, there is a free way of getting movies online that many people take advantage of. It is called bit torrent sharing, or P2P (peer to peer) file sharing. And it is not only movies that bit torrent sharing makes available. There are also books, videos, software, music and others.

This works by enabling you to download small bits of files from various web sources, or users, at the same time. When downloading blockbusters, it means you are getting parts of it directly from other people's computer hard drives. Likewise, you are also sharing yours to millions of internet users worldwide.

But before doing so, you need to have a torrent program installed on your computer. Fret not as one can be easily obtained on the net, and for free too. This program is important as it will be the one which will download file pieces from online peers all over the planet.

Once you have successfully installed the application, the next step is to find available films on the net. Using your favorite browser, you need to open a torrent website. It is very easy to find one. Once you have one open, look for the search bar, usually in the upper portion of the torrent website. Simply type in the title of the flick you wish to download, then click on the search button. Almost instantly, a listing of available files related to what you typed in will show up.

You will notice in the list that various movie files will show up, although having the same title. Which you will pick depends on your preference. Do you want something that's of good quality? Then pick a file with a larger size. Do you want something playable on your media player? Then pick a compatible file type.

While you're at it, look for something with the most number of seeders. Seeders are online users or peers which got the particular film you wish to download. Naturally, the more seeders a file has, the faster the downloading time is. However, it will also depend on the computer you are using, or the internet hookup's speed.

Once you have decided on a particular film, double click on it to start the download. Doing so will start up the torrent application, the one which you earlier downloaded and installed on your PC. Simply follow the subsequent instructions, which are very easy, to begin downloading.

Movie downloads usually complete in a few hours. But again depending on factors like the file size, seeders and the speed of your internet connection. You will get a prompt after the entire process is done. And you can enjoy the film right away using your computer's media player.
