How long does it take to download a movie?

Answer 1

The download time for a movie from iTunes will depend upon the length of the movie, if it is an HD movie, and the speed of the downloading connection. For example a 2 hour movie will take about 25 minutes to download with a 5 MB broadband connection, but will take around an hour if it is in HD. Over a 1 MB connection it will take at least an hour and the HD version can take around 4 hours. Movies can be watched while they are being downloaded.

Answer 2

There is a range of movies available from iTunes. Some are small "Reds dream" and some are cinema length. As different people have different people have different access speeds to the internet what you have asked is a good question, but, the only way to answer it is to open iTunes, select and pay for the movie you want, and have a look at the download page in iTunes says is the current download speed you have. The good news is iTunes will keep track of what you have downloaded and how much you still need to add, and join the two or more downloads together to make a workable file

Answer 3

The torrent itself is only a small text file that takes only seconds to download.

I assume your question is about the content associated with a torrent file and that varies greatly.

There are several factors involved:

The size of the content. Torrents vary greatly in size. Obviously a 30MB download has a different download time than a 3GB download.

The speed of your internet connection. A 28kbps dial up connection is not going to download as fast as a broadband connection of 20Mbps.

The upload capacity of the individuals active on the torrent. Your download speed on a torrent depends on the upload speed of the other active users on that torrent. Bittorrent distributes content using the upload bandwidth of active users.

The set up of your bittorrent client. A properly set up bittorrent client (one that has a clear network connection and upload correctly capped) will download much faster than one that is not properly set up.

So, the answer to your question is "as long as it takes".

Answer 4

It depends on your connection speed, primarily. On dialup, it's going to take quite a while to download. On broadband (Cable or DSL), it usually downloads for me in under 5 minutes.

Answer 5

on your psp if it is a big size movie it takes long about an hour and a half and if it is small then it takes about 20 minutes.

Answer 6

As much time as it takes. It all depends on your connection, how many seeds and peers the torrent has, and the connections of those seeding and peering, the size of the file, etc.
