Movie Downloads

Which sites or programs are people using to download movies? I have heard of bit torrent but do not know anyone using it or how to use it. Where can I get the goods people?

yea Torrent kicks *** ... but given my slow hard drive and my lazy initiative lately i've been "downloading" my movies on DVD's from China town for 4 $ / piece .

Only downside so far is that some dvd might be put together by those guys who can't drive or something , because last weekend I bought Batman Begins and all the scenes were put in the wrong order .

Beats paying 12 $ to see 30 minutes of comercials next to dumb teenagers playing with cellphones and noisy popcorn bags though

I use Torrents too but i like the program called Azureus to download the torrents. some good sites are

Mininova.org
torrentspy.com

just the down side is that i mean the speed varies on torrents.. u can range from like 20kbps to like 200 something... but usually its pretty decent.

www.torrents.to WOW thats crazy thx drft n shift !

I use a combination of torrents and newsgroups. Newsgroups on Rogers used to be so ing awesome until Rogers outsourced them to GigaNews and capped the speeds (still you can get 60KB/s consistently which isn't too bad).

GrabIt is a great newsgroup reader/manager. It is fairly easy to use. One kick *** feature that was added lately was the 'Grabit Search' functionality. You can search all of usenet really fast, but you are limited to 6 free searches a day. Most files posted on the newsgroups are .rar, and generally have a set of par2 files.

For torrents, I use BitComet, it seems to be pretty light on resources.

If anybody wants anymore information feel free to PM me, I'd be more than happy to help.

or the new version of the opera web browser has built in torrent management treats them as a normal download but with the benefits of torrents.
or there is also exeem which is a torrent program that incorporates seaches like kazaa/morpheus
