I do, I know it is illegal but I still download. It is a best way for me to watch newly released movies, however it is not that quality but it is okay to have something free right?
I accept that watching movies at theater is the only way to enjoy the movie to the highest, but time and money are concerned with that so I prefer Torrent.
Do you download movies from Torrent? Do you download newly released movie without caring about it's quality? Whenever any new movie Torrent comes, first I see other people's comment about the quality then I go ahead for download, since bandwidth is important I do so. Do you?

i do but since torrent downloads take forever to finish, i tried instead to do free direct downloading. instead of me waiting forever for my movie to finish downloading in days,now they're done in an hour or two. plus it totally annoys me to wait for so many days from torrent and the movie is not being seeded, only to find out after waiting that the movies i'm going to get are fake (same title, different movie). by the way, those copies of latest movies, i get the dvdrips from axxo, have better quality than the others.

But,some of 3Ds only emphasize visual effect so the plots ,at some extent ,are a little boring.

I've only recently tried it and I was amazed. Hahaha! But I've only tried it with TV series. I think I'll stick to downloading just TV series instead of movies since I can get access to movies more easily than some TV shows. I use it maybe as a last resort if I really want to see/watch something. Of course, the quality is important to me too. I still have hesitations about downloading though. Doesn't it also put your computer/laptop at risk for viruses? That's what I'm trying to avoid.

Yes we do. We don't have dvd player at the moment so it's useless if we're going to buy a dvd. We don't have extra money and time so watching movies in theater is not feasible either. So, downloading movies through the net is the best option and torrent is the best venue to download new movies.

I used to download a fair amount of music and software back in the day. I stopped this because of some musicians I met; it was having a really big impact on their lives. They where basically getting nothing in return but a lot of people where listening to the music for free and just assumed that other people where paying so it would be okay!
For ultra mainstream artists this probably is not as much of a problem, sure more people will download their music for free than an obscure artist but they will also generate some income from sales and also get a lot of airplay royalties as well as sponsorship. This means that although more is being stolen from them they can still actually live a decent life.
Whenever you download for free, like the music and don't go out and also buy the CD or film or whatever then you are denying that person of a sale and in effect taking money away from them.
It is stealing and does impact on lives, especially the engineers and behind the scene staff that the big companies make redundant as part of their forced cut backs.
Yes Tom Cruise is still smiling but not the guy who rigged the lighting.
Also this attitude of something for nothing stifles creativity as studios are not willing to take as many risky but potentially rewarding projects. Instead they feel forced to pump out the same garbage every summer or keep rehashing old films or stories.
It is clear that the studios charge too much for there products to though, the fact that there all so rich tells that story!

I had downloaded and installed Torrent on my computer. I had also downloaded a movie but I could not find any suitable player to play the movies. I downloaded Miro, Graboid, Nokia, vlc --- media players but none of these players could play the torrent files. Could you sugest me suitable player which can play torrent files?

I download movies through torrent, too but I prefer to watch the ones from dvd's because the quality is better....
I don't enjoy watching movies where someones head get in the way or the sounds sucks... So if I couldn't wait for this movie... I'll go to the movie house..

i download film but not using torrent, i usually wait until the quality is r5 then i download it will take somewhere between 2 - 3 month, i don't like it when it's stil in cam quality there is just no use of watching it. like ironman2 it takes about a year for it to be release in dvd format, so i waited for a year to watch

I also download movie from torrent, but only download latest movie after they been released for about 3 to 4 months after their cinema release, on that way I can find much better quality movie. I hate movie with poor quality, I can't just watch them right. Downloading poor quality video is a waste of time for me. Anyhow, you right that this is the cheapest, because after downloading it, you can share it to others to watch them at home, and beside you have the control on the movie to watch it everytime you want it. Torrent is one of best way to complete my movie collection.

I usually watch online movies,I think thar the speed quickly,to meet the needs of my movies,and relatively time-consuming to download movies.
