I use kazaa to download music. Recently I have started downloading movies. I am a big movie person and my wife and I always like to go on opening weekend when something interesting or a big movie comes out. However now with the baby, me going to the movies is not going to happen as often if at all. Especially now with summer coming, I really need to see these movies.
Ok, I know this was semi-covered when I asked a question about downloading full albums and whackbag mentioned irc. I do not understand how to use that. I have had great success in downloading movies that have been out a while. I downloaded 25th hour, jackass, bringing down the house (has japanese subtitles), old school, head of state. I also downloaded Phone Booth 2 days before it came out. For example, a couple parts in Phone Booth, the video stopped but the audio continued. For the first 50 minutes no problems and than a period of 10 minutes had video problems. Also you see distortion for a second or 2. Otherwise it was great.
My main problem lies with new releases. I tried downloading A Man Apart and Anger Management. No luck. One of the things is it could be another movie, like for Anger Management I got About Schmidt. The other thing is I download it and the screen is blank and no audio plays. I tried downloading anger management 5 times this weekend and nothing. I think it mentions something about codecs. I try downloading from quicktime and the download fails.
What do I have to do to make sure the video I am downloading is the one I get. Also that the video is not extremely bad like a problem I had downloading shanghai knights. It was obvious it was from a camcorder in a movie theater as the audio was awful, I heard people talking and laughing in the background.
If IRC or something is better, than can you explain to me how to do it.
I have not tried this site yet but I heard it could help.

Also with Kazaa, what the Hell is with that integrity rating. Everyday I build it up and everyday it comes right back down.
