any tips on knowing if a movie is the whole movie? cause i have a downloaded 4 today and none lasted any longer than 35 seconds and they said it was the full movie? so any tips? thanks

how about file size. 35 seconds of a movie is going to be fairly small. the larger the file is usually means the longer the movie is, excluding quality. Thus if you wanna download a movie go for the largest one, then you'll have the best of both worlds (length and quality).

the thing is the jason x screener was atleast 5-6 digits so would it be alot bigger and how long should it take? i have a 56k modem? thanks

A full movie, even highly compressed, would probably at least 300MB minimum more or less, and much larger if it was decent quality. Chances are the smaller files you are seeing are incomplete files on someones computer. At 56k, good luck. I'd guess it would take several days to download a full movie. Even with my cable modem, it sometimes takes me more then a day to get a movie, just due to net lag and multiple users.
