Movie file sharing - please help

Does anyone know of a good site for downloading movies in mpeg format? I have ADSL and have been using Shareaza, but downloading movies seems to be painfully slow. I know they're big files, and with music I have no problem, but I was just wondering if there are any sites in particular that are good for movies for people with ADSL.

To give u an idea, movies are downloading on Shareaza at less than 1 KB/s (around 8 Kb/s).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thumbs up!

Install a bittorrent client, and look for the movie on a torrent search engine like Bi-torrent or Torrentspy.

I have BitTornado and checked out Suprnova, but now it seems u have to pay for it. What free bit torrent client would u recommend?

Shareaza is a bit-torrent client.

To tell you the truth, unless your searching on a dedicated hub with plenty of members, bit-torrents are shit.

You'd have more chance of downloading a movie file by using KazaaLite Resurrection.

I used bit tornado and suprnova and it worked well, but don't want to pay for suprnova.

Where can I get kazaaLite resurrection? Does it have ads?

What bit torrent search sites are the best? There must be some like suprnova, right? But free! razz

We went to the KLR site and started downloading the FTP download. Is this correct?

So torrent box is like suprnova?

Be careful what you are downloading. In fact I'd urge you to stop!

Download this instead: http://s9.yousendit.com/d...JOY8VU1B07

Torrent Box is a bit like Supernova, yes.

Why stop with KLR? U said it'd be better for movies.

We checked out torrent box but there don't seem to be many users or many files.

What's the link above?

It's a genuine installation file for KLR.

I'm saying that KLR is great, but just to be careful where you download it from. The link I posted was the installation file which I uploaded for you at You Send It.com

There is no pay version of Suprnova, that is a scam site. The real site was spelled Suprnova not Supernova.

As for Bitorrent clients, Ive been using Azureus lately, and it works really well. Exeem was also released, but there doesnt seem to be many files available on it yet.

Torrents may seem like they are downloading really slow at first, the out of the blue, it may suddenly start downloading real fast. Usually, I just leave it running overnight, and wake up in the morning, and most of the downloads are completed.

K++ and KLR were two spyware free variations of Kazaa. But I believe they've since joined forces, and now its just known as Kazaa Lite Ressurrection. The former K++ clients are outtdated.

It seems it doesn't work properly with XP service pack 2.
