Well, firstly, I don't download movies from the net. This is due to a couple of reasons, which I will summarize below:

- Speed: I got a 56k modem, to download a DivX movie, it would take me a few days being on-line non-stop. Even with kazaa, where you can pause your download, I would get impatient and probably go to the cinema to see it by the time it gets to 20%.

- Quality: I can't stand the quality of most DivX movies. It's good to see that they've reduced it to about 600MB, but I'd rather pay $12 (AU) to watch it at the cinemas, or $6 (AU) to rent it from a video store.

Even if I had broadband (which I am getting soon...fingers crossed), I really doubt that I will be downloading movies from P2P programs. This is mainly due to the quality. As I said, I'd rather pay a little bit of money to see it full-quality. It makes the movie more enjoyable for me.

The workload in finding and downloading them?
Workload? I don't thing there is any. With so many P2P programs out there, the movies are easier to get a hold of then errors on a MS program (well, maybe not). My mate has a few folders full of DivX movies on CD's. Each CD holds one movie. He has about 3 folders. Each folder contains 74 slots for a CD. He's only had cable for a year or so...you make the calculations.
