How do I Find a Safe Site to Download Free Movies in Canada?

Downloading movies in Canada is an easy process and as long as it is for personal use, it is not being targeted by the Canadian authorities.

Downloading movies in Canada is no longer being targeted by Canadian authorities, unlike in the United States, even if the movie is copyrighted. Therefore, finding a safe site to download movies in Canada refers more to finding a site that has fewer incidents of viral downloads and is free of spyware and malware. The easiest way to locate a safe site for downloading movies in Canada is to utilize virus protection software and to download from sites that are well known, such as MiniNova, IsoHunt and the Pirate Bay.

Things You'll Need

• Torrent client

Instructions

1. Download a BitTorrent client. The first step to take to download movies in Canada is to download a BitTorrent client, such as BitTorent or UTorrent. This is the software that is needed to download torrent files from the Internet. These are small programs and are freeware. Visit either bittorrent.com or utorrrent.com for more information about downloading these applications.

2. Make sure your virus protection software is running and up-to-date. Most virus protection runs continuously in the background so that any undesirable files are recognized immediately and blocked from installing and running on your computer. But to be safe, open your virus protection software program by double clicking on the desktop icon or locating the file in your Programs menu and make sure that it is turned on. Additionally, while most virus protection software periodically checks with the manufacturer for updates, you should manually check by clicking on the update function, just to be sure.

3. Go to a torrent hosting website. This is the website that indexes uploaded torrents and serves as a library for all of the titles available for upload. MiniNova, Isohunt and The Pirate Bay are a few popular torrent sites on the Internet that host movies that are available for download. Locate the movie you wish to download, click on download torrent and in a few minutes, the movie will be available on your computer for immediate viewing.

4. While prosecuting individuals for downloading a movie for personal viewing, whether it is copyrighted or not, is not considered a top priority in Canada, distributing it or making it available for others to view is. Care should be taken to ensure that you are not making the movie(s) you have downloaded available for others to obtain from you. This practice is illegal in Canada if the movie has a copyright, and should be avoided at all costs.
