There are many illegal sites that provide pirated versions of movies. They entice the user with free downloads, but the movie quality is poor or even unplayable.

Viruses and all sorts of spyware, adware and/or malware are generally attached to the movie downloads, ready to wreak havoc on your PC. Seek out sites that abide by stringent codes for classic movie downloads.

Here is a basic guide for classic movie downloads:

1. Obtain a membership on a site with massive classic movie databases and collections. The best choice is a one-time-fee only site that provides great customer support after the sale.

2. Make sure the classic movies download software supports audio and video text. Use software that permits downloads to more than iPods alone.

3. The 'download files' option or HTTP and FTP methods are the choices for downloading classic movies online. HTTP opens a new window so you can drag the link to a folder to download. FTP directly connects with the movie server so you can drag and drop the file into a folder. You can also right click on the online file and choose the download option "save target as'.

4. Media players are required for playing the downloaded classic movies. Real Player, Windows Media Player and Quick Time Player are the best. Your Internet service provider, the file size, video codec system and movie server's speed play a role in the speed of the downloads.

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.
