Free Movie Downloads Wil Be Risky For Your Computer

By Charmaine Chan

The internet is full of websites that offer free movie downloads, and yes - it's true you can find just about any movie you want if you look long enough. They can range from cute rated "G" flicks to those you wouldn't want to watch with your grandparents. But you have to be careful - especially these days - in looking for sites that offer the latest and greatest at no cost to you. Sometimes "something for nothing" is nothing you want. So here are a few tips to keep in mind when web surfing, that could save you from experiencing "computer home theater" regret:

Make sure what they're offering is really at no-cost to you: Know the word "free" is used in many contexts in order to lure customers into buying things like movie memberships. A fact that's often concealed until someone has already spent hours searching online before finding a promising site, only to be faced with a mind-numbing membership form that's really a sign-up commitment in disguise. He will get a FREE trial membership - but those few days will cost him three months in advance. At this point, the mentally exhausted person hits "delete" in frustration and gives up, or has to start over.

An easy way to cut down on wasted hours hitting brick walls is to be specific in your keyword selection. Typing in "One hundred percent, no obligation EVER free movie downloads", when looking for the free sites, should turn up the existing few that actually give a person something for nothing.

Expect to be delayed by something at some point - Be aware that once you find an actual free movie website, you still have to find a download link that works. You can expect to run into annoyances like being redirected to a site that costs you money, unavailable pages with error codes, and links that don't take you anywhere.

Know the basics about your operating system - When you do locate a live link to your movie download, you may then be asked to pick the one that corresponds with the operating system your computer is using. It's wise to know at least the name of your OS program, so you don't accidentally choose a download with data your computer can't read that will cause you to miss your movie - and may even crash your system.

Use a portable flash drive - Because of the many viral and hacker threats to computers systems and personal information these days, always use a flash drive to download internet goodies whenever possible, and be sure to scan each of them before viewing what they contain. This is especially important if your computer doesn't already have a good virus counter-attack program installed on it.

If you don't have a flash drive, or access to one, then at least save any downloads to a file folder on your computer's hard drive - and don't open it until it's been scanned for problems.

When you find those sites offering free movie downloads, be aware that they don't always mean "free" in the literal sense. Many an internet surfer has jumped to accept something they thought would cost them nothing, only to find out that they'd be paying for it in more ways than one, somewhere down the road.

Movies And MP3

Movies and MP3 files are already compressed with near maximum capacity. Repacking them would just create larger files and increase decompression time. Ripped movies are still packaged due to the large file size, but compression is disallowed and the RAR format is used only as a container. Because of this, modern playback software can easily play a release directly from the packaged files, and even stream it as the release is downloaded (if the network is fast enough).

MP3 and music video releases are an exception in that they are not packaged into a single archive like almost all other sections. These releases have content that is not further compressible without loss of quality, but also have small enough files that they can be transferred reliably without breaking them up. Since these releases rarely have large numbers of files, leaving them unpackaged is more convenient and allows for easier scripting. For example, scripts can read ID3 information from MP3s and sort releases based on those contents.
