It will always help if you have a fast Internet connection, but your download speed also depends on the speed of the server/source you are downloading a movie from. The following table should give you an idea of how long it would take to download a 700MB file (typical movie download) using your Internet connection under perfect circumstances.
| Connection speed 56Kbps 128Kbps 256Kbps 512Kbps 1Mbps 2Mbps 10Mbps | Transfer speed 7 KB/s 16 KB/s 32 KB/s 64 KB/s 128 KB/s 256 KB/s 1.25 MB/s | Transfer time 28 hours, 27 mins 12 hours, 27 mins 6 hours, 13 mins 3 hours, 7 mins 1 hours, 33 mins 47 mins 12 mins |
1Mbps is equivalent to 1000Kbps.
Please note that the transfer speeds and times quoted above are based on the maximum speed of your Internet connection. If you're downloading movies from a fast server/source then you might be able to achieve these transfer times, but in general your downloads will most likely take longer.
