Q: How long does it take to download movie

That depends entirely on your internet connection speed.
A movie takes about 20 minutes to download fully for me, but is available to watch within a few seconds.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
