Sure you can watch bootleg movies online at YouTube, Megavideo, and others, but those are all in flash video format. If you want to watch bootleg movies in DVD format, without people walking across the screen then there are other resources available online. Plus you don't have to pay monthly fees in order to gain access to them.
Watch Out for Traditional File Sharing Sites
Have you ever downloaded a bootleg movie, only to find that it was full of unwanted advertising, or even worse: Spyware? When you go to a popular file sharing site such as Limewire, Bittorrent, ect. in search of a movie, you should be prepared to face numerous issues. Regular P2P file sharing sites often contain files, which are from unethical internet marketers, that will be full of unwanted content. It is not irregular to watch the first 30 minutes of a movie from a regular file sharing site, only to have the movie stop and bring up an ad or link that says, “Go to Some Website to Purchase the Full Download.”
Lost Time on Downloads
Something else people often encounter on regular file sharing sites is lost downloads. Downloading a movie takes a little while, but it takes a very long time when you have to start 5 or more downloads of the same movie in order to even get one full copy. The reason why you often have to start multiple downloads of a movie is because most of them will fail. This is due to people hosting downloads turning off their computers, or simply having a very poor internet connection.
Private File Sharing Sites
Not all file sharing sites have poor performance. There are some file sharing sites, which focus on movies and other related downloads only. If you do choose to become a member of one of these sites, you will usually be charged a one time fee in order to help pay for web hosting, customer support, ect. The benefits of being a member of one of these private file sharing sites are worth the one time fee. They offer millions of downloads, plus their quality is superior to what you will get from traditional P2P file sharing sites.
Watch Bootleg Movies in DVD Quality
Most private file sharing sites enable you to watch bootleg movies in DVD quality. Additionally, these sites usually provide you with DVD burning software, which will enable you to burn your bootleg downloads to DVD for watching on your regular DVD player. Now you can put your DVD burner to work for you and save money at the same time.
Get More for Your Time and Money
If you take into account that you can gain access to download millions of bootleg movies, tv shows, and games by paying about the same as you would for a few new DVDs, the choice is pretty simple. Take the time to at least learn more about what is available and how much you could be saving when you download and watch bootleg movies online.
Sometimes it seems impossible to find and watch bootleg movies with high quality video and audio. Most of the time, what you are left with as an option are sites promoting flash video bootleg movies. These can get the job done sometimes, but usually flash video will have issues such as audio tracking lag and diminished quality. However, there are bootleg movies available in DVD quality, you just have to know where to look.
When you are searching for bootleg movies in DVD, you have to be careful not to accidentally join a service, which will charge you monthly for access to their archives. Despite your best efforts to try to find and watch bootleg movies for free, there are some issues you should try to avoid.
Spyware and Adware
Even though you may have some good antivirus software currently installed on your computer, some movie download sites just contain too many Trojans and Spyware. Your computer can only do so much to defend itself, and if you are experiencing a lot of virus issues, then you should avoid that site by any means. Traditional file sharing sites are known for containing downloads, which have been added to their listings by unethical internet marketers. Be careful and always scan your downloads prior to opening or watching them. Movie downloads with viruses and spyware can be avoided, see below.
Unwanted Advertising
When you use a regular file sharing site to watch bootleg movies, you may encounter unwanted advertising within your movie downloads. These ads usually come in the form of ads displayed across the screen or across the bottom of the video during portions or even the whole movie. Sometimes you may even experience advertising which stops the video every few minutes to display an ad for a few minutes. These movies can be avoided, see below.
Incomplete Movie Downloads
This may have already happened to you and if it hasn't, consider yourself lucky. Some movie downloads that you find on regular file sharing sites, will play the first 30 or so minutes of the movie. Then the movie stops and it presents you with a message basically stating that you must become a member of some website, in order to watch the rest of the movie. This is especially, irritating and hard to detect, because the file size is still the same as a full length movie should be. The last 90 minutes are just full of the displayed message.
Your Best Option
Take the time to learn more about some of the private file sharing sites online. Some will charge a one time signup fee, but most do not have any monthly charges. Before you cringe at the thought of paying for access, think about everything that you can gain access to for the price of two or three DVDs.
Make sure that you read all conditions before you complete a signup form. It is easy to mistake a one time fee for a monthly membership fee. Additionally, make sure that the site you join offers a large database full of downloads. Some of the leading movie download sites carry television series and shows, in addition to movie downloads.
