Since my ISP has no download limit, I am not certain what yours does. If they have a download limit, there is no way to distinguish between movies streaming to your computer online or downloading files. Yes, it would probably count.

Of course. Download limit is counted as how many data you have received from the internet sevice provider (ISP). When you watch a movie, open a web page, or listen to online music you are receiving data from the provider.
Consider this, you always know what consumes your limit!

yes, watching online movies consume download limit.
Have you ever noticed, when you watch online movies/music, its says in the status bar "Buffering" ....in fact, it downloads data from the internet by the time and and you feel like, there is a very smooth connection between your computer and the internet.

Everything you receive on the internet, wether it is a wep page, music or a movie is a download. Watching online movie might consume A LOT of downloading.

depends on the size that it is transmited and you downloads limit is. but yes it will use most of it if not all. now if you go to a diff' www.page.com page or download something else then it will give you room for it. but it will be slowed down by a lot. now if you have a limited amount of download limit before you can't download any more then watching movies is a bad idea.

The answer is "yes".
Furthermore, if you are with an ISP that limits your bandwidth, then you need to get out and get another ISP. There are plenty of companies out there that offer unlimited bandwidth useage. Road Runner (highspeed) is one, Time Warner (highspeed) is another. Having a bandwidth limit is a rip-off. To me, that sounds like pre-paid internet. You pay $40 and you get $40 worth of internet. Don't do it.

If you are downloading the movie from the internet, then it is using your bandwidth. If you have a download limit, then yes it is using it up.

Do you have a limit on how much you can download and upload. If so then yes anything recieved by your computer will count towards your total.
