Irrespective of whether they`re for "personal use" or not, it`s illegal and is also against the Forum Rules which you signed up to when registering here.

Putting aside the illegality for the moment I would reckon if anyone wanted to download movies they would probably have to be on broadband , adsl or some other exceptionally fast connection. Most movies seem to be about 3 gig so if you had anything like a bog standard 56k with a typical hourly download rate of roughly 13 meg you would have to be connected/download for ,well I`ll let you do the arithmetic, a helluva time. With resetting connections, interrupted downloads, and probably a chance that there could be errors I can`t really see the point. Even with a broadband etc, connection you would still have to be on line for about 24 hours ?. Now back to the legal aspect. As most films are now appearing on DVD reasonably quickly after general release and therefore on VCD from Malaysia why not just try a few titles from overseas on VCD and keep your conscience clear.

DVD films are 3gig yes, but there is a lot of *illigal* movies in DivX format, which can be very good quality (not as good as DVD) at between 700-1500meg depending on length of the film.
I saw a DivX of The One. Very good quality and just over 700meg (the films about 90min).
Of course this *illigal* activity is wrong and should never be done (I wouldn`t do it). Therefore I can`t tell you how to get these films.Iif you want to break the law its up to you, but you need to find out how somewhere else.

There are also a lot more common poorer AVI files that come in about 4-500 MB. Normally split in to 2 parts too.
