Understanding How Downloading Services Work by:Deeprana

Today, if you want to buy or rent a movie, you have a lot of options

. You can drive or walk to a store, pick up a movie and return it when you're done. If you'd rather not make the trip, you can sign up for a service and have your movies delivered to you. If you don't want to wait for the mail either, you can order and download movies online. This is where free movies come into the quotient. In most cases, you can begin to watch free movies online within minutes of starting your download.

There is much to be said about downloading content from the internet. Most important of all is the legality issue. For example, the not yet released or latest movies online are most usually branded as illegal. Until recently, most people who downloaded movies online were using peer-to-peer file sharing programs to share pirated videos. This usually violated copyright laws, but now there are lots of legal businesses that offer movies for sale or rent online as well as allowing you to watch movies online.

Terms of use, system requirements and selection of titles can vary widely from one to another. Similarly, different sites can use different protocols and applications to deliver movies. However, there are some things that remain basic to every web portal. For example, the most viable component is the website where such movies are to be shopped or downloaded from. These portals organize their titles much the way retail sites do.

Once you make a decision, some sites require you to use a download manager, like u torrent, to get your movies. This is a program that can add your movies to a queue, resume paused downloads and keep track of which movies you've selected and paid for.

Here are the basic steps to download movies online:

1. Log into your account.

2. Choose the movie you want to rent or buy. Depending on the site's setup, you might place it in a shopping cart or go straight to the purchasing options.

3. If applicable, the Web site's software checks your parental control information to make sure the movie complies with your settings. If necessary, the site can check your subscription information to make sure you have not used all of your allotted downloads.

4. The Web site stores your choice in a database. The site's software uses this information to make recommendations to you and to determine royalty fees owed to the company that owns the rights to the movie.

5. Billing software determines how much money you owe and presents you with a final total.

6. The site encrypts the details of your financial transaction so other people can't see it.

7. The site's content delivery system starts your download and notifies you when you can begin watching. Depending on the site's setup, you can download a file or view your movie as streaming video. When using a streaming format, the site sends the movie to your computer as a stream of information, and your player decodes it as you watch.
