Torrents are THE best for downloading movies.

Just get Download utorrent or some other client go into bittorrent section and find some nice sites and start downloading!
As simple as that.. :) Happy downloading.

Btw limewire sucks for downloading everythig EXCEPT downloading songs! I beilive LW is the best way to download songs..

Agreed.
I think for a beginner newsgroups might be hard to understand tho...plus if she wants to get older stuff that isnt posted to newsgroups then she will need bittorrent anyway.

True..

Let me make a pretty irrelevant quastion: Do Torrent sites get newer movie realeases before newsgroups?
If yes then torrents would might just be a better choice..

@IKE: I agree completely that newsgroups give you higher speeds but torrents i think will give her larger varity of movies especially if she manage to get to a good private torrent site..

Besides Like roscco said for a newbie newsgroups may be a little hard to get along...

..well my cinema, is right next door to a koffieshop...

but getting back on topic, although Soulseek was meant for music, there are also a lot of films shared there. I do occasionally download a film, but I do it mainly on opennap, where I know a lot of the file-sharers. If you wish to try it, click on the link in my sig, and download a free client...I recommend lopster..you will need to share some files to stay on most of the servers..

I rather torrents but my speeds suck on Rogers which throttle torrent downloads. I am now just starting with nzb files and usenet access. I subscribed to Astra usenet service...$12CDN for 25GB. Getting excellent speeds but hard to find what your looking for.
