Downloading Movies

Post by Midnight Toker »

What's the best program for downloading movies? Whenever i do it through Ares it fucks my internet connection after a while and i have to restart my computer before i can get back online, so downloading takes much longer than it should. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what do you use now?

OK, now lets try and get an answer from someone who's not a complete retard :lol:

Why would i want to take a bus to get to blockbuster to spend money on renting a film i could get for free without even getting out my chair? And i'd have to take another bus to go and give it back the next day. I'm too lazy and broke for that shit.

Try the BitTorrent sites. You should be able to find a ton of movies.

It'll download fine for a while, then i check the progress and the speed gradually drops to zero. As soon as it gets to 0.00kb per second the internet stops responding so i have to disconnect. Then it wont let me reconnect to the internet till i restart the computer. This never happens with music files or smaller movie clips, just big files like movies. The qualitys normally good though.
