Bwhahahahaha. So all torrent sites have "ILLEGAL! ILLEGAL! ILLEGAL! ILLEGAL! ILLEGAL! ILLEGAL! ILLEGAL! ILLEGAL!" in bold type across the top.

Simple test. If it's on a torrent site, it's probably illegal, if you can buy it in the stores, it's probably illegal. Failing that, it's common sense whether it's copyright free or not.

I'd suggest the way the movie jumped around a lot was due to it being a second generation recording of a bloke sitting in the audience filming the screen with a hand held camera. Nothing you are ever going to do will improve the quality.

Night of the Living dead is perhaps the best, but if stuff live Santa Claus conquers the martians floats your boat, you'll be in hog heaven.

That legit website didn't turn out to be too legit now did it....

However, it does raise an interesting point - nowhere on these sites does it say it may be illegal to download some of the files (and if it does, they don't make it obvious). Would that be enough in court to get you off charges?

I would say Sanders if you did get a DVD from any one of those sites listed in your link then its 100% illegal.

I download illegal stuff all the time don't worry about it.

I assume it was a bunch of rar files but when you open on of them there is just one file which is huge normally about 4 gig or so. You just drag one of them out from any file and wait the 10 mins for it to extract. then it's normally a case of burning the dvd. Use Alcohol 120% as it is reliable. what software did you use? maybe try a slower burn speed. would help knowing the file though, for any more help.

No, it really isn't any problem.
Please, tell us what it was.

I've been looking for a source of legal DVD downloads, so I'd like to know the site anyway.
