The internet is getting better and better everyday. Download speeds are improved so much that your ability to download movies online is now a reality. With the improvement in technology, there are some caveats, so you need to make sure you are choosing the right site and the right service to download from. The following are a few tips to make sure you consider when you get ready to pick a service.
One time or recurring fee
There are sites that you can pay a monthly or recurring fee for, and there are sites that you can pay a one time membership fee, and then access the service with unlimited downloads. Make sure you know what you are getting. While a monthly fee is usually lower upfront, you need to remember that you will keep paying this amount to keep your access. A one time fee f or movie service, while incrementally higher, is usually a better bet long term. It may be a good idea to save for 2 months, and then have unlimited access.
Offers and Benefits
Some sites will allow only downloads for one kind of file. While others will not restrict your access. What this means is the difference between downloading only movies, or downloading music, games, and video online. The sites that allow a diverse file access, utilize the power of the masses. The more people that are members, the more product they can offer. Many sites will also offer DVD burning software, and computer software.
Quality
Quality in movie download sites refers to two things. The first is the actual resolution of the movie. Make sure your site offers a download that is what we will call DVD clear quality. The last thing you want is a site that provides grainy, cloudy resolution, especially on your HD TV. Speed is another consideration. Make sure your site has a good download server speed. The second kind of quality we are referring to is viral. Pick the wrong site, and you run the risk of getting spyware, or malware on your computer. This is prevalent with torrents, and free download sites.
Variety
There are sites that offer thousands of files for download, and there are sites that offer millions. Make sure you pick a site that has access to a very large offering. At last check, there are sites that offer over 100 million files between movies, music, games and video. The other kind of variety you want to make sure you get is a site that offers file formats that work with iPod, Zune, and PSP players.
Copyright management
Digital rights management is a big issue right now, and you don't want to get caught with a site that offers pirated movies. When you sign up, make sure you are picking a site that honors the royalties that should go to the companies that produce the movies.
You can enjoy many of the benefits when you download movies online, but just make sure you consider these factors, and you do your homework. Again, this is probably the best time to take advantage of technology...just make sure you let it work for you.
