What You Should Know Before You SIGN UP For Any Movie Download Site...

January 1st 2008

My name is Scott Taylor and I wrote this review because I was scammed out of a total of $197 before I found legitimate movie download software. My daughter got a laptop and portable DVD player for christmas and I wanted to find a service that offered unlimited downloads for a flat fee -- I was not going to pay $10 per movie like iTunes and similiar services charge. Well, I'm happy to report that I found a couple legitimate sites but not before I got scammed EIGHT times! I've put together a list of the sites that provided what they promised, the rest pretty much ran away with my money.

My research consisted of signing up for numerous movie download sites, then downloading a couple different movies on each site to find out which sites are legitimate and which are not. In my test I looked at: download speeds, picture quality, ease of use and selection.

After completion of my research I found many sites simply did not live up to their claim! Time and time again I found sites that gave links to outdated download software, download speeds that could tie up your PC for a week, had a very limited movie database and many of the movies I downloaded had picture quality so poor it resembled a camcorder recording from the inside of a movie theater... Not good! If you do sign up for a movie download site, please do not sign up for anything not listed here, you may be very disappointed.

Even though most sites I reviewed did not live up to my expectations, I did manage to find a couple sites that were truly worth every penny! These sites all have ridiculously huge selections, (I found just about every movie I was looking for, and trust me, I was looking for some very hard to find movies) most movies I downloaded had near-perfect picture quality, I got all the right download software (of course), and with some of the movies I downloaded, I got download speeds upward of 300kb! (very impressive) If you are planning to download movies (which, if you like movies, I highly recommend) then these are the sites to use.
