To step

Method 1 of 3: Prepare your computer

1. Download the files directly. Many sites on the Internet serve as repositories for individual users. They provide a safe way to store files in case the original copies are lost or damaged. However, these highly secured sites can be used to store masses of downloaded movies and TV shows.
   • As with torrenting, it is illegal to download directly copyrighted. Unlike torrenting, you are not expected to share your files.
   • People who provide and advertise copyrighted material on their sites are at a much higher risk of being punished than people who just download the files. However, never assume that you are not at all risk.

Tips

• Until recently, YouTube set a maximum limit of 10 minutes for movies that could be uploaded. This means that sometimes there are films on YouTube that are divided into fragments of 10 minutes. If you don't mind loading these individually, they will work fine.

Warnings

• Downloading movies and TV shows without paying is piracy. Make no mistake. Only take this risk if you have a good reason. Remember, the public libraries and video libraries offer cheap or free services that let you rent movies. Completely legal.

Necessities

• A computer, preferably a fairly new one
• A broadband internet connection
• The right software
