Thinking about getting netflix, got some questions

About how much bandwidth would it take to stream a non HD movie? Are there some kind of program to save the movie on our computer? Is netflix the best when it comes to streaming online movies? if not what is?  do they have all movies ever created?

1. 1.5 mbps (SD), 5 mbps (HD)

2. Yes. PlayLater. It's legal. It's price at $40 for a lifetime subscription, last time I checked.

3. Subjective. IMHO, yes. Netflix is the best in terms of movies for your buck. Amazon is the best in terms of vaule (movies + free 2 day shipping). Hulu Plus is best in terms of TV shows.

4. No. Nobody does. However, Netflix has many titles, especially in terms of TV shows.

Otherwise, before anything else, peform a speed test. Make sure no other Internet activity happened on your network.

Also, under "Manage Video Quality", you can adjust the settings, based on your network speed.

Oh, and Netflix has a free month trial period, so you can see for yourself how the service is.
