Try to downld from multiple sources if you can. They're the search results that have numbers under the # column.

It depends on what you want to do with the movie. Watch it on computer, connect your computer to TV or burn the movie to CD or DVD. For watching on computer probably any format is OK. For burning to disk either avi, mpg/mpeg are the best.
(WMV=Windows Media Video, AVI=Audio Video Interleave which is a commonly used format & comes in different variations, MPEG/MPG=Mpeg; Mpeg type 1 is used for VCD, MPeg2 for SVCD & DVD. There's also MPeg4/DivX which may be camouflaged as an avi file.)

Most decent quality movies have been reduced to CD size or even split into parts for CD's. So you're looking at over 500 MB for a reasonable quality movie to burn & watch on TV. Ignore those that are a small size. Many of those are spam - advertisements but they show up in searches duplicating your search.

The figure 1 at the beginning of that how much time represents 24 hours or one day. The next 2 no.'s = hours, etc.

If you're uploading it's certainly easier to get better results. It helps you to connect to many other people. Sharing over 30 is quite ok. Over 50 might be a bit better.

Doing another search for the topic can help to find more sources. Remember there's people who go on/offline continuously so this can affect search & downld results.

Here's some hints if you haven't seen them before: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.
