I still haven't seen that. I had a period where I didn't go to the cinema for ages, so I need to catch up. |

Meh perhaps your internet is just screwed. Every film i've downloaded takes about 6/7 hours max.

And as for going to the store and getting them, that is hardly ever the case for the shows i want to watch, new south park for example. Wait 5 years for it to be in the shops, or download it 1 hour after its broadcast in US in 2 minutes with the universities uber fast connection.

I haven't been to the cinema sinse Charlie & The Choclate Factory, and the previous time before that was 2 years ago. I just don't like the whole sticky floor, annoying people at the back sort of thing. I'd rather just wait for the DVD and watch it at home.

When I went to see Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, the cinema had a powercut. We're sitting there watching it, then boom! |

I agree. And they take way too much space. I already have three HD full of music. (ok, ok, one is the back up.) |

I got Blackadder 2 today. Blackadder pwns. And crazy "ambition is bad" lady is talking to me again. We were talking about how I more or less have the next 5 years of my life planned out, which to her is the worst thing in the world, and how she has no idea what she's doing after sixth form, so I say "You'll find your dream job, don't worry" And she replies "I'm really not that bothered" How can people be so f*cking unmotivated? I don't understand people who don't want to do something with their lives. |

"I tried it once, and while music downloaded shockingly fast, movies and TV shows took hours upon hours, sometimes even days. Other than the obvious issue of being too cheap to pay(which is bullsh*t, because DVDs nor cinema tickets aren't that expensive), why the hell would you rather wait a week to download a series when you can pop down the shop and be watching it in half an hour?" Because: A/ It's free, rather than £50.
B/ You don't actually sit there for several hours. You set it downloading and do something else. Not much different from booking a cinema ticket for a few days later.
C/ The shows, films or whatever might be unavailable, or prohibitively expensive. |

I hate torrents. I can't figure them out one bit. Just downloading stuff straight is great though.

Also, downloaded movies and TV shows must take up a hell of a lot of space on your computer.  |

Or on a writable DVD that costs 20p. Or take up space breifly, until you watch them and delete them... |

Exactly, i have every single south park episode spread over 2 dvd's, way way less than the equivalent number if i were to buy every single season. And yeah, not all movies i download i really want to see again, case in point, the da vinci code, watch it, delete it. Simple. |

they only take a while if you download slightly obscure things, new movies etc have many many seeds and take very little time really. |

allas i have the same problem as well, which is why i have so many things in my download section. When i come online i start all of them and whichever are moving the fastest i'll stop all the others and focus on them before the seeds disconnect hahaha. Torrents can be an art as well  |
