MovieHive is an easy-to-use application that can stream and download movie downloads for Windows. The application also allows you to choose from several genres and subgenres and allows you to watch and download movies according to your viewing preference. The user-interface is divided into two panes - the upper pane presents a screen-shot of all the movies in the queue. If you prefer thumbnails, you may use a sliding slider to zoom in, or you can switch over to a full list view - the slide-out slider works both if you switch to the list view and if you prefer thumbnails. Movies are also classified according to their genre and year of release.
When you download movies, there are two ways through which you may do this - directly from the MovieHive website or by using a third party application. The free download provides you with access to hundreds of thousands of movies. If you wish to download more movies, you may choose to make a one-time payment or subscribe to the monthly plan. This will allow you to download unlimited movies. The subscription allows you to download and watch any movie in the queue - movies downloaded by users who have paid the subscription are also included. Movies that you download via free software are protected by copyright laws.
MovieHive for Windows requires a Windows-based PC and free software. It runs well on any version of Windows, although it is best suited to Windows XP and later. The application works on Windows Vista and up, although some features may be missing or may be incompatible with older versions of Windows. The software requires no installation on your PC, but you must be sure to have it properly installed before it starts. MovieHive offers a free trial version that allows you to see if downloading through this means is right for you. Before subscribing to the subscription plan, you must also be sure to download the latest version of the software.
