Does anyone here have any experience with the Diabolic website after May 6, 09? The reason I ask is that that was the last date for a full review. I just got a membership there hoping to pick up a few older scenes from some of my favorite series (Lewd Conduct, Spring Chickens, Un-natural Sex). The last reviewer, James4096, noted a few things that seem to have changed. He says that all the videos are called the same thing and that there is only one size download available. That doesn't appear to be the case now though. My issue is this: the videos I want were added to the site sometime prior to April 2006 and it appears that many of the videos added to the site prior to that have dead links and can't be downloaded or viewed at all, even though they appear on the site. This includes Lewd Conduct 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 20 and 24 - all of which I want scenes from. In fact, it appears that 41% (!!!) of the videos uploaded prior to April 2006 are dead links. My question is this: has anyone else experienced this and emailed about it? I'm wondering if maybe the site is undergoing a thorough re-work (file names and different download options) and they are working their way through the library. I'm still kinda pissed though, since I bought a membership specifically to buy a lot of titles that don't have working links. This will be my second subscription to Diabolic and I liked it last time and this didn't seem to be a problem then. I've sent a message through the usual link on the site, and I realize that it might be early next week when I get an answer. I know this will probably met with howls of laughter, but if they can't fix the links I'm going to ask for a refund since I haven't downloaded anything else I wanted (I did randomly download a couple of scenes that were uploaded recently to make sure my problem wasn't user-oriented) and the scenes that I wanted and appeared to be available when I signed up aren't really available. Anyone have any insight into this? Edited on Sep 12, 2009, 04:55pm | |

I wish I could help you with the problem, but I have no experience with the site. I was sorry to see you'd downloaded a few files because I was going to say that I've actually gotten a refund through the billing company when I've run into a site with a ton of dead links and I hadn't downloaded anything. You still might be able to argue your case if the percentage of dead files is really that high. That's lame as hell. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

Thanks for the reply. I still have hope though. The tech department is probably closed for the weekend and there is some evidence that they are revamping the site. And to top it off, the webmaster has responded to some criticisms on this site. Maybe I'm being naive... But the bottom line is that I joined a site for about 20 specific scenes and every-frigging-one of them is a dead link. In fairness to them, I'll give them a few days and if there's no response then I'll open both barrels on them in a new review. | |

Very well put and thanks for the laugh. If it comes to that, I hope you get a webmaster reply on here. For some reason, I get a kick out of going at it with the people running sites with major issues. Nice to see other people willing to stand up to 'em too. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

I'm actually feeling like a bit of an ass since all I wanted were two scenes Lewd Conduct 6. I just figured that my options were to DL it from Adult DVD Empire which I could download to own for $22. Bad value for sure, but I figured the Diabolic membership would cover what I wanted and I could get a few more 'classic' scenes. I feel compelled to quote the mid-20th Century American philosopher, Yosemite Sam, on this one: "I paid my four bits to see the high-diving act and I'm a-gonna see the high-diving act." | |

Sorry, that stinks man. I hope I didn't steer you wrong there. I didn't have any problem with broken downloads that I remember. You might want to leave a comment on the page for their site here at PU. A webmaster has replied before. Granted that was a year ago, but maybe they don't like the public shame and will do something about it. If it's a temporary problem and they fix it, I think they should credit your account for the days you've been a member so far. If they aren't going to fix the broken links they owe you a full refund. Good luck. | |

james4096 - you didn't steer me wrong. I was a member a while back and what you reported was what I remember too. It appears that they are revamping the website, but the issue is how long will it take before all the scenes I wanted are linked again and will I get a refund. I'll report back here or in an updated review - though I will add a comment and hope the webmaster sees it. Thanks | |

I hope it is only a revamping because I believe that both Diabolic and Anabolic are dying studios (if they aren't dead already ). They have almost no more dvds coming out. These were studios that had multiple DVD releases each month. I think they now have one release a month other than compilation material. Their site may still be worth it if you get access to their library because they have quite a large quantity to offer and as far as I know. Their material is not available for download in sites live Videobox. You can stream it and can download a complete movie, but it's not cheap. Long live the Brown Coats. | |
