Downloading Free Movies: 3 Tips

Downloading free movies from the internet is not that all of a challenge if you know what you are doing. Follow these three basic tips and in no time you will be enjoying many, if not all, your favorite movies in the comfort of your home without having to pay for each movie you view.

First tip is to find a few web sites that have free movies to watch online. Look for those sites that offer multiple listings for URL access to these movies. Perhaps the best place to start would be at OVGUIDE.com. They offer many movie site listings in a variety of categories. Online categories would be movies, tv shows, trailers, documentaries, how to's, education and even adult sites, if you are so inclined. Through trial and error you will find the correct online movie sites to bookmark. Believe it or not, there are many where it is extremely difficult to download from, if not impossible. All other sites will require payment to download or jumping through offers and surveys.

Second tip, and equally as important, is to find a good download manager that can grab these online movies for you. There are a number of software packages and browser plugins that can download from the "personal video" sites such as YouTube, Daily Motion and Yahoo. Probably the best download manager for this task would be IDM (Internet Download Manager). You can download a free trial anywhere online. It would be well worth the small cost to buy the software as you will soon find out after the trial. IDM actually integrates with your browser and when you go to a site to view a free movie, once the movie starts, IDM will grab the URL and you can simply click to download. Remember, IDM can resume if the link is broken only on those sites it says it has resume capability. Megavideo is known for great quality but it does not support the resume function. Do not waste time trying to download from them.

Third, once your free movie is downloaded you can view in any video player that has the correct codecs installed. GOM Player is an excellent choice for this task. If you wish to burn the movie to DVD try a freeware called Convert X 2DVD and before you know it you will be the proud owner of a free movie to watch on your television screen.

Now, downloading free movies from the internet will be a breeze because you now know what you are doing. Enjoy your free movies.
