Free Movie Downloads Are Fast Due To Bit Torrent Sharing

By George Lester

Movie downloads provide film buffs convenience when it comes to getting new titles. They don't have to get out of the house to rent DVDs or pay for a cinema. With a few click of the mouse, they can have a new title to enjoy right in their computer.

While there are sites on the internet where you can purchase movies, there is a way wherein you can get them for free. And it is how many net users these days get their regular dose of movies. Through torrent sharing - also called P2P or peer-to-peer file sharing - you can get blockbusters at no cost. Other file types may also be achieved through this means. They include: e-books, audio books, music, games and many more.

How does this torrent sharing work? You know that the internet is a network of people from all over the planet. Through torrent sharing, you get pieces of the movie from various users online who got it in their PC's hard drives. At the same time you are downloading those pieces, you are sharing them to millions others looking for exactly the same film.

So how do you download movies through bit torrent? First, you need to download and install in your computer a torrent program or software. You can easily find this on the web, and it is for free. Having this program is necessary as it is through it that you can locate users with the film you wish to download.

Once you have successfully installed the application, the next step is to find available films on the net. Using your favorite browser, you need to open a torrent website. It is very easy to find one. Once you have one open, look for the search bar, usually in the upper portion of the torrent website. Simply type in the title of the flick you wish to download, then click on the search button. Almost instantly, a listing of available files related to what you typed in will show up.

You will notice in the list that various movie files will show up, although having the same title. Which you will pick depends on your preference. Do you want something that's of good quality? Then pick a file with a larger size. Do you want something playable on your media player? Then pick a compatible file type.

While you're at it, look for something with the most number of seeders. Seeders are online users or peers which got the particular film you wish to download. Naturally, the more seeders a file has, the faster the downloading time is. However, it will also depend on the computer you are using, or the internet hookup's speed.

Once you have chosen the right file type and the highest number of seeders, it is time to download the title. Double clicking on it will fire up the torrent program you earlier installed. Clicking okay, or any other equivalent button, depending on the program, will immediately download the file.

Movie downloads are completed in only a matter of hours. But then again, depending on the file's size, seeders, and of course your internet's reliability. Once the file has completed downloading, you will get a message, and you can enjoy watching it right away.
