TheMovieDownloads Review

As an avid movie and television show enthusiasts I had become frustrated by trying to find the latest movies and tv shows that I wanted to watch online.

I got sick of having to rush my DVDs back to the video store constantly or face paying a fine. Plus on the weekends it is almost impossible to find the newest releases on the shelf to rent and you have to settle for some inferior film that you didn't really want to see.

Another problem was the fact I would sometimes miss my tv shows and not have any way to find the episode so I could catch up. This can suck, especially if you're watching a serialized show like Lost or 24 where missing a week can mean confusion about what happened previously.

I started to look for a solution to these issues and came across the site TheMovieDownloads. After reading a couple of positive reviews I decided to give them a go and so far I have been quite pleased.

The site claims they have over 80 million movies, tv shows and music videos online. Obviously, it is hard to get an exact number but there are certainly hundreds of thousands of titles available from the popular to the obscure.

TheMovieDownloads has a robust search feature which I have used hundreds of times in the couple of months I have been a member. I have always been able to find the download I wanted within a few moments, even the more obscure foreign movies that I like to watch were there ready to be downloaded.

Apart from movies TheMovieDownloads also has an extensive tv shows database. I found the entire back catalogue of Lost episodes including the most recent episodes. They also have entire seasons of shows that aren't even on the air anymore so you can catch up with shows recommended to your by friends.

As well as movies and tv shows TheMovieDownloads also has a ton of sports for you to download and view including the latest American Football games and UFC.

Unlike some other downloads sites I checked out The Movie Downloads do not have any bandwidth or daily download limits. Other download sites try to avoid higher server costs by imposing limits but not The Movie Downloads. I have downloaded many, many movies and never had an issue.

Another thing I thought was great about TheMovieDownloads was the fact they provide you with all the software you need to burn your downloads to CD or DVD.

They also give you for free the software needed to transfer your downloads to your iPod or PSP. I tried transferring a movie to iPod and it worked great, quick and painless.

Support seems good. I had an issue with the software trying to get it to burn correctly to a DVD but after I spoke to their support guy via email I soon got it working correctly.

The only other slight negative I can think of is that not all the movies are of DVD quality. Don't get me wrong - 98% of them are but I have downloaded a few that, while of a high quality, I wouldn't classify as DVD quality - but they were still very watchable.

I have been very happy with my TheMovieDownloads service so far and will continue to be a member in the future. It is certainly a lot easier than having to run back and forth to the video store.
