Yes, yes, yo. You can download the greatest movies, even ones which are yet to be shown in the cinemas, for free. Yebah. The magic word: torrent.

I've you still haven't known about torrents and torrent downloading, you've been missing a lot. Torrenting is basically file-sharing made better. (Nah, I won't try to explain. Basta, it works. If you want more details, see this wikipedia entry.)

Start your downloading frenzy in 3 easy steps:

1. Download a torrent client software. I use Azureus for mac, utorrent for PC.

2. Search for your torrents. My favorite: mininova. Check out also torrentscan.net.

3. Download! Speed will depend on your internet connection and the number of people "seeding" the file. It usually takes me about an hour to complete a film download. I add my torrent software to my startup programs so that it runs while I read, type, or do whatever on my computer.

Sometimes I leave the computer turned on while I'm out of the house, and I get to complete downloading as much as 8-10 films.

Tips:

• You might need to do something to enable some routers and firewalls to have speedy downloads. Go to portforward.com.

• When downloading, check the comments to see user feedback on quality and content. Also, download the ones with more seeds and less peers.
  

• You can subscribe or regularly visit junknova.com for newly released torrent films.

• See also torrent tweaks to speed up your download.

Some must-watch films links:

Walkout
Sicko
Loose Change 911
The Revolution Will not be Televised

Btw, Filipino films, including indies, are also available for download.
