Unhappy Downloading movies takes forever

I am new to downloading movies. I am trying it for the first time and have noticed that after 2 hours I am only at 14% complete with one movie and 11% with another. Does it always take this long to download a full length movie? How can I speed it up? Does it make a difference whether I am trying to download 2 movies at a time or should I only do 1 at a time? I am on LW Basic. Also, when my computer goes into sleep mode does that slow down or stop the download or will it keep going? I don't want to sit at my computer for 10 hours or more. Once I have the movie downloaded will I be able to save it to a dvd using Roxio 6 CD and DVD Creator or will I need a different program. I already have a +/- DVD writer driver built into my computer. Any help to keeping this process fast and simple is appreciated.

As long as your file is in AVI or MPEG format, then Roxio CD and DVD Creator should have no problems with it at all. Any xtra dvd & movie conversion help can be found at these sites:
