Dont watch pirate downloads. They completely ruin the experience because of their crap quality. If you are going to download films (like 95% of the population with internet does) then download the rip based on what you will be watching the rip on.
For example, I have a 22" PC monitor which has a 2ms response and can play 1080p resolultion, and my PC has Dolby 5.1 surround. Therefor, I obtain at the least, the 720p which includes full surround (just like being at the cinema).
The TV downstairs is an old widescreen. So, when a family member wants to watch shows like lost (that arnt even shown in the UK sometimes) she downloads the TV rip, or the DVD rip which is almost DVD quality. This is then played either on a modified PS2 or an xbox 360 through the TV.
We used to buy those dodgy DVDs of the DVD man for £5 back in the early 2000s. Then we realised how crap they were because they were filmed by someone in the cinema. After that the most we would pay is £2..
There is NOTHING worse than someone standing up halfway through the film to go to the toilet. AND I WAS AT HOME!
P.S. Even if you have the crappiest PC monitor in the world, as long as the resolution is at least 1024 x 768, then you will be able to watch 720p high definition content. The only thing that may be of concern is decent sound quality, or monitor response time or the processing power of the PC to uncompress / decode the content and display it.
There are sites that review "RIPs" you may come across them with google searches like vcd and quality, that may be worth looking at if your determined to download movies... coff... or so I've heard.

Bala Mud, best underseal there is, only £30 per application.
Saw 'Red' a couple of weeks ago. Very good film. Went to see 'Unstoppable', again good film but somewhat predictable. After we came home, put on the box, can't remember what channel but absolutely brilliant film called 'Irene Palmier', or something like that. It had Marianne Faithful in it. If you get a chance to see that you should. It had us laughing a bit.
Looked it up, it's called 'Irina Palm-the best right hand in London'.
