Downloading movies....
I do it via my Foxtel box, unmetered on my Bigpond Cable account... fast, legal. The movie can start playing within minutes of the download commencing, and the rest downloads in the background as you watch. There is a HUGE library of movies on the Foxtel "On Demand" system... newer ones are charged for... most older ones no charge.
Can also watch movies via the Foxtel "Catch up" service on my PC, Tablet and phone within the house, as they use the WiFi via the same bigpond account, and so it's also unmetered and included in my Foxtel subscription. Also can get a lot of "Live" Channels this way... I have been known to watch a bit of the Ashes cricket on my phone while lying in bed....
Of course, with Foxtel, you only get to keep the movies or other shows (TVseries are available for download too) for a short time before they automatically delete themselves, so you cant build up a movie library like this.
You can go via services such as iTunes, and the Google Play Store, where you can download and keep a copy of the movie, thus building up a library. But it can be expensive.
You can also download "free" movies via torrent files as someone else mentioned (other systems too, but torrent best known for now), and that isn't legal. Speed depends on your internet connection, but as people here have pointed out, they are rather large in size.
Not legal as I said.... not that it stops a lot of people. You can build a movie library that way too.
