At first, online bootleg movie downloads sound like something you wouldn't want to be part of... Right? Think again. The current laws and court rulings have stated that file sharing is not illegal. That means that downloading movies online is available to all of us. All of us who can find good resources that is... How many times have you downloaded an MP3 or movie just to find that you wasted your time downloading an incomplete copy, a poor quality track, or even worse; a virus. Online bootleg movie downloads can be entertaining, but first there are some things you are going to have to look for in your resources.

Watch Out for Viruses

This may sound like it should go without saying, but most people are so determined to download what they are searching for that they will open it immediately. First off, if the source is questionable, you should at least pay attention to the red flag in your head. Scan files as soon as you download them and definitely prior to opening. It usually only takes a few seconds and it can save you loads of headaches. Every time you download a file from a questionable source you should ask yourself, “Do I want a permanent ad on my desktop?” If you are planning on enjoying any online bootleg movie downloads, you should take the time to scan them first, prior to viewing. The movie is about 125 minutes long, but the damage could take weeks to repair.

Download Formats and Quality

When you find the online bootleg movie downloads you have been searching for, you want to make sure that they are of good quality. Some free movie download sites will provide you with software, which will allow you to burn your downloaded movies to DVD. Watching your downloaded movies on the PC is good, but burning them to DVD and watching them on the TV is even better. In order to do this though; you will have to download a high-quality copy of the movie. Most of the newer free movie downloads come with the complete menus and chapter selections as well. These downloads are the closest thing to the original copy available.

User Requirements and Support

Something you will seldom find amongst free movie download sites is customer service. In order to help you with download issues as well as watching your downloads, you may need some tech support from time to time. Only a few free movie download sites will offer customer support, but it is very valuable when you need it. Additionally, some sites are known to limit how many movies you can download, based upon how many movies you share. For those with slower internet connections, this can be troublesome, since when people are downloading a shared movie from your PC, your download speeds suffer. By finding a reliable site, which does not limit your downloads, you can share only a few downloaded movies and still maintain a relatively fast download speed.
