By George Lester

Through movie downloads, you can enjoy blockbusters even without renting a DVD or going to a movie house. With just a computer and broadband internet connection, you can get movies from other people online. Imagine the convenience this means provide among movie buffs.

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.

Now let us get on with the actual downloading of film through torrent. But before you can do that, you need to download torrent application and install it on your PC. Worry not as you can easily find one on the internet, and it is for free. This application will enable you to locate files and download pieces of them from various users.

Once you have a torrent program installed, the next procedure is to locate the movie you are looking for. Fire up any web browser of your choice. Then go to a torrent site. Got no idea? Then simply look for one using a search engine. Once you got a torrent site open, type the title of the movie you wish to download inside the search box. Hit the enter key or click on the search button to get a listing of related files.

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.

You might also want to pick the file with the highest number of seeders available. Users that provide copies of a complete movie file are the seeders. They are the numbers of users online with the blockbuster film you are looking for. So the more seeders a file has, the more likely you will download it the fastest way. But it will also depend on the speed of your internet connection.

Once you have decided on a particular movie, based on file size, type and seeders, the next procedure is to start the download. By double-clicking on a file on the list, the torrent program which you previously installed will start up. Click the okay button, or any other similar button, to commence the downloading.

Movie downloads usually complete in a few hours. But again depending on factors like the file size, seeders and the speed of your internet connection. You will get a prompt after the entire process is done. And you can enjoy the film right away using your computer's media player.
