im in the uk and i was just wondering is it legal to downlad a film?

to answer your question very simplyif it just came out or is copyrighted no it's not legal, if it's not copyrighted than it's legal.

how do i know if the film is coppyrited or not sorry new to this

Google it. And see if it shows results & if so see if it belongs to any film corp. Also see if there's any copyright info anywhere listed on those pages.

I realize that copywritten movies are illegal to download, so just what kind of movies CAN be downloaded when just about any movie out there is copywritten (atleast, any movie that is worth getting a hold of and burning to a disc).

I mean who would we be kidding if we said that we weren't trying to download things like The M*trix 1, 2, & 3; or The L*rd of the R*ngs; and that sort of thing? The question I have (and I am going to ask it because many seem to be dancing around the question) is this: If I want to download T*rmin*tor 3 (DVD) is it possible? If not well......yes, that sucks, but it's understandable. But if I CAN, then how do I go about finding a good copy that I can MAINTAIN a connection without getting dumped when I have spent 10 hours downloading to 88%?

I realize that others have sort of asked this question in various ways, and I have tried the tips mentioned in the many replys and I still have no paydirt.

I don't know, maybe it is the case that has been mentioned numerous times that it's either the host I'm downloading from or some company has gotten it's sneaky little tendrils into the downloading process. Either way, if you have any suggestions as to where I can have better luck with downloads like this please let me know. I mean this IS one of the reasons why I bought this product...to be able to download movies. Anyway, nuff said, I really hope you can help in this. Thanks.
