San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
As you watch the film, you'll be amazed how the world of the Internet turns the recent into the ancient: In a matter of only a few years, a world-changing digital event like Napster has become so last century.
Shared Darkness
Brent Simon
Downloaded provides a robustly engaging overview of Napster's renegade birth and premature death rattle.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Has a sharp pace that burns through the years, but there isn't much here that's new, with revelations minimal at best. Fanning continues to be a question mark.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
As iffy as the coulda-been premise is, "Downloaded" is still a vigorous retelling of Fanning's and Parker's wildfire achievement and its ethical pitfalls ...
Seattle Times
Paul de Barros
I found myself asking, "And so why am I being retold this hoary tale?"

Director Alex Winter tracks the evolution of our tunes, and current glimpses of Fanning, especially, show how small revolutions can have larger, often disturbing, soundwaves.

NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Compelling, provocative and well-edited.
EntertainmentTell
Stephen Silver
Well-made and provides a largely accurate overview of this crucial chapter in the history of both music and technology.
The Playlist
Kevin Jagernauth
Downloaded often misses bigger picture viewpoints, and mostly sticks with the standard narrative about Napster we all know (though with a bit more behind-the-scenes detail).
The MacGuffin
Allen Almachar
Narrated entirely through personal testimony, we're given a rounded perspective of the case, both by the people that supported Napster and [those] that fought against it.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
The doc is only about as revealing as a middling magazine article on the subject. But it will fascinate and frustrate anyone already interested ...
