Film Downloads

southernsatellite · 01-02-08, 06:19 PM

My son has just got an MP3 player and it has 4gb for video, can someone tell me of a safe file sharing website so that he can download video to it?

Thanks

Bit torrent. Stay well away from Limewire and the like - you can get all sorts of computer nasties on them.

If son is going to use file sharing, MAKE SURE the computer security is screwed down tight and run regular virus scans.

Also be aware that downloading lots of video will nail your isp d/l limits in no time if you are on a restricted service....

Don't download movies myself - I tend to 'back em up' using DVDFabPlatinum.

This will copy a full length movie to MP4, compressing it down to bout .5gB

Yeah better then torrents, just use warez-bb[DOT]org

I actually find limewire really good . for getting some stuff. Not once ever got a virus , just use common sense when downloading.

Hate torrents , really - too much crap with them and also with uploading.My uploads are counted in my overall bandwidth limit by my isp.

I'd say bitorrent as well, but make sure that you're also running something like Protowall or Peer Guardian as well.

I stay away from torrets or p2p . I found usernet much faster, more choice and a lot safer although for a really good usernet it costs about £10 a month, but there are plenty of free ones .
