And you have a hell of a selection of dvds without torrenting/downloading.

That’s good enough to download from Dropbox . Very simple to do.


When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor?

How long does it usually take to download from a dropbox? What type of software would I need?

…depends on your actual connection speed, which you can test at speedtest.net For a single-layer DVD, maybe an hour (tops).

As for software, you already have what you need to download files …. a web browser.

Typically, a DVD has six (give or take) small files that collectively are less than a megabyte for a DVD with a still picture menu. And then it will have up to five VOB files – that are a gigabyte each, except for the last one.

When I upload a DVD to dropbox, I put the six small files in a single zip file so that you only have to download the one file (which downloads in just a few seconds). I upload the VOB files separately. Since most of those are one gigabyte in size, obviously, they are going to take longer to download.

To download them, you literally only have to left click on them and then choose “save.” Just remember where you are saving them on your computer – and make sure ahead of time that you have room to wherever you are saving them. Once you’ve got everything downloaded, put all the files into a VIDEO_TS folder – and then burn that folder with whatever program you use to burn DVDs – and you’re done.

I just recently discovered that you can transfer instantly the entire file you wish to download to your Dropbox account, even if you don’t have enough space in your account. For example, you have 2.5 GB of space, and you want to download a 5 GB show, Dropbox will allow you to instantly transfer that 5 GB show into your account. Then by turning on the syncing program Dropbox installs, it will download the entire file into your Dropbox folder, just like a torrent. If you have any lapse in connectivity, it can be resumed without issue. Dropbox will send you an email informing you you’re over your limit, but you can just ignore it, and download the show. Eventually, Dropbox may delete the show from your account, since you are over your limit. But that is just a guess.
