Finding And Watching Non-Copyrighted Movies Online

by Chris Channing

The Internet is now the one-stop shop for entertainment, with Internet connections now becoming increasingly fast. One method of entertainment, watching movies, can now be down through torrents and programs associated with them. Learning how is also easy, assuming you have a few minutes of spare time.

The program that you use to read the torrents, and download then, is referred to as the torrent client. A torrent client will manage the connections to your computer that are made to both upload and download the movie at the same time. There are so many torrent clients these days that you could pick almost any one of them, such as Bit Comet, and be happy.

As stated, you will be interfacing with other computers in order to download the movie you plan on watching. Some see this as a security risk, and take actions to hide identity online. This is a legitimate request that many do. If you wish to mask your identity, you will have to hide your IP address. Several programs accomplish this task, but a good free example would be PeerGuardian, put out by Phoenix Labs.

Media programs use different file extensions in order to play correctly. While one media player may play one media file, another media player won’t be able to. It’s best to go for a media player that is not only free, but can play as many extensions as possible. VLC Media Player is an example of such a program, and is the choice of expert computer users worldwide.

When you unpack the torrent and find that the file is zipped, don’t worry- that just means it has been compressed. Compressed files are beneficial since they are smaller in size, and thus easier to transport. You will have to download an unzipping tool if you don’t have one. A free alternative to some paid version would be 7-Zip, which you can download and use for several different operating systems.

After you are setup, you still need to find the torrents! Torrent websites found online act as search engines, only they search torrents instead of finding websites. Torrent websites aren’t similar, although they do perform the same functions. You should look into searching multiple torrent websites if you aren’t able to find the results that you intended on getting.

Final Thoughts

Do make sure that the video you are watching is not copyrighted, or is otherwise legal for you to watch. It is possible to be penalized otherwise, and it certainly isn’t worth the hardship that would come as a result of fraudulent downloading of movies.
