Here is a basic guide for classic movie downloads:

1. Search for your favorite classic movie downloads through membership on sites with extensive databases and collections. There are sites that offer the option to download with a one time fee only. It is advisable to opt for them. But also be sure the site offers after-the-sale customer support.

2. Remember that audio and video text are part of classic movie downloads. Be certain your download software complies with a wide range of download capabilities and not simply iPods.

3. Use the option to download from a link as ‘download files’ or go with the HTTP method or FTP. With http, a new window will open where you only have to drag the link to a folder to start downloading. FTP allows you to directly connect with the movie server and simply drag and drop the file into a folder. You may also right click on the online file and select the download option ‘save target as’.

4. You will need a media player such as Real Player, Windows Media Player or Quick Time Player to enjoy your downloaded classic movies. Download speed is dependent on your Internet service provider, size of the file, video codec system and the movie server speed.

Generally, the size of a classic movie downloads file is around 700 MB. If the connection speed is 56Kbps with a transfer rate of 7KB/s then the transfer time should be around 28 hours, 27 minutes. This is VERY slow for classic movie downloads. In contrast, 10Mbps and a transfer rate of 1.25 MB/s, reduces transfer time to 12 minutes.
