Everybody knows that, for years, movies have been easily accessible online. Or did you know this? This guide shows you how to download movies online by selecting trusted websites and using software that the top downloaders use.

The first step is to find a movie that you want to download. There are several types of movies - old movies (dating past 1995), newer movies (older than 1995), and box office movies (currently playing in the theatres). Typically, it is more difficult to find the older movies because they were released before the internet boom and older movies are less available than movies from 1995 to 2008. Movies from 1995 to 2008 are more easily available and can be downloaded by searching the web or by searching trusted movie sites. Box office movies (the movies still playing at the movie theatres) are typically available if they have been released for more than a week at the box office. These movies are usually shot with a video camera and are illegally distributed online (known as CAMs or if the audio is plugged-in quality, then a TELESYNC).

Now that you have selected a desired movie, the next step ...
... is to find a "release" for that movie. A "release" is a movie team that launches a movie "release" that includes editting and updated audio to make the viewing experience for computers how it should be. To find a release, you can quickly Google something like "moviename (year) dvdrip rapidshare.com" This search will most likely yield "rapidshare.com" links (which are a collection of 5-20 links from rapidshare.com that compromise the movie release). Movie releases generally vary from 5 to 10 of these links, depending on how long the movie is. These links will end with a "rar" format and are broken up pieces of 1 movie file (because rapidshare.com only allows users to upload in 100mb parts, so they split it into 5-10 usually).

Once you have found the links, you will have to use a rapidshare premium account to download each part. Once you have each part downloaded (you can use a free acount, it just takes longer), use Winrar to unrar the files (just selected the first file and extract the contents of it). You now have your movie!
