Where can you download movies? |

I have heard of this marvel of technology...but never had an opportunity to try it.

For that reason I would never encourage you to try the BitTorrent network, with a client such as Azureus. I would never tell you to search for torrents at www.torrentspy.com either.

4. BitTorrent is a P2P network... |

But it is different from the others. You download and upload small fragments of files, and a client like Azureus automatically puts it all together. You must look for and download the .torrent files that are the ones who actually contain the information.
Download the client and install it, and then go to www.torrentspy.com, and download the torrents you want. They are small files, usually less than 50k. Open them up in Azureus, and the download will start.

3. You won't catch me telling you about newsgroups |

No siree! That would be wrong. Using a combination of programs like Forte Agent, QuickPar, and WinRar could make anyone able to download movies. Those horrible, bad, evil people, just download a movie that has been broken up into little parts with Forte Agent. Then they verify that the parts are complete with QuickPar. Then they combine the parts with WinRar. It's tedious, time-consuming and it's only possible to trace the people who uploaded the files. Downloading is completely anonymous. It's also rarely a targeted technology because peer to peer programs like Napster and Morpheus are easier to understand and trace the people involved. If you were one of those evil horrible people which I would never associate with let alone be, you might even say that this is great! You might even really enjoy Oscar season because hollywood insiders post DVD copies of the nominated movies(still in theaters mind you). All of this can be find in a number of newsgroups starting with alt.binaries.
But of course you aren't really serious right? ;-)
