Downloading Popular Classic Movies

By Agape Marketing and MixedApples

Online movie downloads have changed the entertainment industry in a big way. In fact, you not only have access to recent movies but the classics, as well.

Classic movies downloading is a very popular choice of movie viewers, but not many sites make them available.

Although it may take some doing, you can locate movie download sites that provide a wide array of the classics.

The recently published 2008 movie downloads review lists the following as the most popular downloads sites:

Movielink - Amazon Unbox - Vango - Apple iTunes - Wal-mart Video Downloads - Netflix - EZTakes - MovieFlix - TotalVid - CinemaNow

These sites provide the option to download movies from the Internet in a fast and authorized manner. However, if you are looking for classic movie downloads, then you need to search a bit further.

Be careful about taking a chance on illegal sites. Prepare for, at a minimum, poor or unplayable quality.

Viruses and all sorts of spyware, adware and/or malware are generally attached to the movie downloads, ready to wreak havoc on your PC. Seek out sites that abide by stringent codes for classic movie downloads.

Here is a basic guide for classic movie downloads:

1. Search for your favorite classic movie downloads through membership on sites with extensive databases and collections. There are sites that offer the option to download with a one time fee only. It is advisable to opt for them. But also be sure the site offers after-the-sale customer support.

2. Make sure the classic movies download software supports audio and video text. Use software that permits downloads to more than iPods alone.

3. HTTP, FTP and 'download files' options are different ways to download classic movies online. HTTP provides a new window so you can drag the link over to a folder for downloading. The FTP method lets you connect directly to the movie server, then drag and drop the file into a folder. You can also choose 'save target as' by right-clicking on the online file and selecting that option.

4. Media players are required for playing the downloaded classic movies. Real Player, Windows Media Player and Quick Time Player are the best. Your Internet service provider, the file size, video codec system and movie server's speed play a role in the speed of the downloads.

The transfer time for an average classic movie download file size of 700 MB, using 56Kbps connection speed with a transfer rate of 7KB/s, is over 28 hours. A connection speed increase to 10Mbps and 1.25MB/s transfer rate dramatically reduces the transfer time to 12 minutes.
