Movie download sites can make life much more manageable for folks with busy schedules. We all know it can be such a hassle to have to keep up with the movies we have rented and the days they are due back. Then things come up and we never really get a chance to watch them. And those over-due fees can add up real quick. That is exactly why movies by mail became so popular. No late fees and just a matter of going to the mailbox.

Down-loadable movies is not a brand new idea. It has been around for a few years. However, it usually involved dealing with peer-to-peer sites. People basically opened their files to share with each other. It meant most were pirated films. No royalties were paid and copyright violations were rampart. Not only was there the moral issue, it was quite possible to download more than movies. Viruses were spread quite frequently.

Today, the choices for download sites with movies, free and paid, are becoming more advanced. The main thing to look for is the DRM (Digital Rights Management) posted on each site. This will determine what you are allowed to do with the movie files you download. Some of the sites will also require you to use their proprietary software to browse, purchase and download, and perhaps even the playback.

You will find it is much more convenient to use the download site as they are very intuitive when it comes to navigating them. Most will be organized much like the shelves at your local movie outlet. They will also allow you to browse titles, categories and reviews. You should be able to quickly find what you are interested in without having to read countless box covers.

You can find time-savers like filtering movies by ratings or just reading some reviews. Many will also use any preference settings, and possibly past purchases, to offer suggestions for you. Some may have systems in place to manage and accelerate your downloads. If not, find a download manager, many good ones are free, or have free trials. They can handle multiple downloads and pick-up where one was paused, or dropped, without having to start over.

You can also move more than one movie to a queue to be downloaded, and many will split the download into several segments to expedite the process. Be advised that some movie sites will require you to use their propitiatory software to manage your business on their site. Getting started is usually as simple as setting up an account with the service you choose. You will then be able to set parental controls and decide on the optimum download speeds.

Most services will allow some options. You might be able to purchase movies outright so they become yours to do with what you wish. Another option is to rent a movie for a certain time period. Then it will be disabled, or completely erased in some cases. You might choose to have the viewing in a video stream where once the download starts and is sufficiently buffered, you start to view it. When done, that is all there is to it. Monthly memberships may also be an option.

Movie download sites can provide a great resource for busy families and individuals. The added convenience and total control you have can be a very satisfying experience. When you have the option to view your movies on other devices as well, it can become an indispensable entertainment investment for any movie buff.
