Title: Downloading movies
Post by: roro on June 03, 2007, 10:34:19 AM

I know this has nothing to do with Avast but it is a general forum, so I thought that I would ask about the best site or sites to download new movies, if I could also download TV shows and music that would be a plus.  I don't really trust peer to peer from what I have read.  I don't mind paying a fee for a year etc. as long as it isn't ridiculous.
I have been going to sites that review different places, but don't know which reviewing sites to trust.
I just got a DVD-R drive and want to play.

These 3 sites seem to pop up often:

The Butterfly Download Network
Shared Movies  (peer to peer)
Net Movie Downloads

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Roro Downloading movies is illegal in some countries. I see you live in the USA so I know it is here. You best bet would be iTunes or some similar service that offers legal music movie and TV show downloads

I don't want an illegal site.  I know there are legal ones.  That is what I was looking for.  I assumed if these sites had a fee that they were legal, but I must be wrong. 
Are the 3 mentioned in my question above illegal?

There's also netflix   or blockbuster     and many other legal places to obtain or rent DVD's

Basically you have iTunes for downloading movies and TV shows or as bob said Netflix and blockbuster to get them on DVD
