Wow, now the BitTorrent is launching a legal download service to offer movies, music, TV shows and games to its subscribers.
Their latest redesigned site will have about 3,000 movies and TV shows available from companies such as Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox, MGM, Paramount and MTV.

It is believed that this move will be a success because BitTorrent already has 135 million users, and the distributed model means that downloads are much faster than on other services.

A movie download from BitTorrent should take about 30 minutes, and a TV episode around 10 minutes. BitTorrent is also hoping that the pricing will be attractive enough to encourage its members to pay for legal downloads rather than take their chances with illegal copies for the same.
