If To End All Wars is on Kazaa, then I would definetly download it. But I have a 56k. Has anyone ever tried dl'ing a movie on 56k before and how painful was it?

i've downloaded a few movies and large files on 56k before
just leave it to download over a couple of nights and you hardly notice
plus you can use avipreview to preview what you have of it, so after a day you should have about half the film
patience is the key

when i had 56k dial up (10 months ago) i never bothered to download movies, it wasnt worth the hassle. But i did download large software files that i needed. It took me 3 to 4 days, but was worth it because i found them useful.
Thankfully i have superfast broadband now, but still hate downloading movies unless it has good bandwidth and is of near dvd quality.
If you are going to download a movie make sure its worth it and of good quality by previewing.

a movie file of 100MB-200MB would take about 2-3 days. 56K download at the speed of 2kb-10kb. Sucks i know, LOL. I'm using cable, I can't stand 56k.
Before I'm having dial up, it took me 3 days to d/load a movie.

yes I have before its not painful speed wise I didn't care what was painful was the 4 hr sessions which made the phone bill rocket up!! and ppl couldn't ring
I still download movies on dial up, and I have about 60 movies, most of which I downloaded. I've probably got about 20 from friends I suppose.
It's not that bad, and if it's all you can afford, then that's it. I may get ADSL soon, but I have no job... so what are the chances ?
Anyway, I leave the computer running 24 / 7, and whenever I'm not doing something else, I leave it to download. I've only really been doing so since I changed ISP to one with no download bandwidth or time limits, and they don't have session times, only disconnecting every few days.
It takes 2 - 5 days usually, but that's fine with me. I always download music inbetween etc, and do a lot online. I get at least 100Mb done overnight most nights.

i had dialup for about 5 years, and only abuot 2 months ago i got adsl.
downloading on dialup wasnt that bad, just leave it on overnight and it will get done quick.
