It's a site I've always been quite tempted to join because there's some models there I would like to add to my collection such as Katie Fey and Ariel Rebel but the $40 price tag for me with regional pricing always put me off. At $19.95 I would be very tempted, I clicked on the banner for the special deal but it shows up as $24.95 for me then when I click through to CCBill the price goes up again to $29.11 with the regional bullshit pricing, expensive for content that is anything upto 15 years old.

I'm guessing these technical problems are affecting all the ATK sites. I'm currently subscribed to ATK Galleria and have also experienced a lot of technical problems. In a way I'm kind of relieved to see your comment to know that I'm not the only one suffering these problems. I've been meaning to write a similar comment myself about the problems but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll write up another comment later when I have 5 minutes, I've been holding off hoping they will get it fixed but nothing seems to get done.

Thinking of ATK Galleria that I'm currently subscibed to I would say they need to srcap the current site completely and start over again with a new site layout with better navigation on new servers with consistent download speeds and none of the persistent technical problems that seem to be never ending.

Oh that's disappointing then. I didn't see any mention of it being a trial though, that seems very deceptive. Glad you were able to get a refund though.

I also don't see the deal from TBP but if you go to Rabbits Reviews it's available there. It's showing as a flash sale with a countdown ticker showing 10 hrs 30 mins left on the deal. I don't know how genuine that countdown is, last time I joined a site on the spur of the moment with one of those countdown tickers making me afraid to miss out on the deal I later discovered the countdown clock reset itself every 24 hours.
I hope the staff here don't mind me pointing you in the direction of Rabbits since it's owned by the same company.

I was a member just over 2 months ago and yes the site was still adding around 6 new photo sets and 3 new videos per week. It's a little confusing because the updates calender is running about 2 months behind schedule which appears to still be the case looking at the site preview.

I never use a search engine for my own personal browsing of a site, I just tend work my way through the A-Z model index checking out every model to see if she's got content I want. The only reason I would check out the search engine if they have one would be for the purpose of writing a review.

I'm seeing the same error message. Let's hope it's just a temporary problem.....I would hate to see another site on my join list disappear before I've had a chance to join it.

I'm a big fan of all panty and lingerie themed content so don't really have a preferred type. I wish I could find a good panty themed site but it seems to be an underserved niche these days. One of my all time favourite sites was a panty themed sites called LV Panty back around the early to mid 2000s but sadly since they went offline I've never found another site that covered the niche so well. Thankfully I have all the wonderful LV photo sets saved and backed up for posterity.

Coincidentally a little while ago I tried to hit the sign up page on a couple of the other Met Art Network sites namely Eternal Desire and Stunning 18 and got the same error message. Obviously they don't want to earn any money today.

| Pros: |
PU/TBP discount.
Billing by Trustcharge, straightforward cancellation with immediate confirmation email.
Part of the Openlife network giving access to 10 different solo model sites.
Large collection for a single model site with 604 photo sets (43,000+ photos) and 335 videos.
A bit less than half the videos offer at least 720p hd with 79 of those also offering 1080p full hd.
The newer videos offer a choice of 7 different resolutions for both download and streaming.
Photo resolution fairly decent across the entire collection at 1280 x 1920 portrait and 1280 x 853 landscape.
Zip downloads for photos and a slide show feature for viewing online.
Good download speeds, I was getting around 4 MB/sec
Easy access to other network sites from a drop down menu with no further logging in required. |
| Cons: |
Watch out for the pre-checked cross sales on the sign up page.
An annoying select the picture captcha to log in, sometimes took me 3 or 4 attempts.
Site doesn't appear to be updating. No dates on any of the content so impossible to say when the site last updated but there's little change in the content count since TBP review of 2014.
No model interaction, not surprising since Sunny retired from Porn somewhere around 2013.
The oldest videos are very low resolution bordering on unwatchable.
Zip file names are just numbers.
Photo sets often have the pictures out of sequence, start out clothed, then nude, then the clothes are back on again. As a photo collector I find that kind of annoying. |
| Bottom Line: |
This site wasn't really on my radar but an email hit my inbox offering me the chance to sign up for a month for $5 so I couldn't really refuse that as Sunny Leone is one of those models whose photo sets I've always saved since I first came across her on DD Girls (old name for Digital Desire) back around 2002. Whilst there are no posting dates on any of the content here the copyright information on the photos suggests the content here goes as far back as 2001 and I would guess covers the entire span of her porn career up until she retired so you get to see her before and after the boob job. Although Sunny did a little boy/girl hardcore towards the end of her career you won't see any here, this site is 95% solo glamour content with a little lesbian content making up the rest. There is plenty of boy/girl content amongst the other sites in the network though.
The photo sets appear to be a mix of exclusive and non exclusive, I wouldn't like to guess what percentage of the content is exclusive. I recognised some sets I already had from now dead sites such as Babes.tv and ModFX Models but most of the photo sets I had not seen before.
The navigation is straightforward, you can browse either photos or videos and then select them by either recently added or all photos or all videos which sorts them into alphabetical order by the name of the shoot. You also have a drop down menu of categories allowing you to search for something more specific.
The newer videos on the site give you upto 7 different download and viewing options, 1080p, 720p, 540p, 480p, 360p, 240p, and 160p. The 1080p videos I downloaded came in at 1920x1080 and just under 7000 kbps and the 720p ones I downloaded were 1280x720 and between 2000 and 5000 kbps. Once you start to lose the hd videos you still have some fairly decent sd specs typically 960x544 @ 4000k. It's only when you get to the last 5 or 6 pages of the oldest videos that the quality really drops off a cliff, typically 640x368 with 653 kbps which is really not worth the effort. The newer hd videos did look superb though, I really enjoyed those, typically between 5 and 10 minutes long, the usual kind of thing you would expect from solo glamour content, lots of teasing and stripping from sexy outfits and lingerie often ending with some masturbation and toy play. Some videos had a musical backing track but not all, there were a couple of dirty talking videos that I really enjoyed.
This is a full list of the sites you get in the Openlife network with the amount of updates:
Sunny Leone: 604 photo sets 335 videos
Abbey Brooks: 8 photo sets 13 videos
Ashley Fires: 36 photo sets 93 videos
Bree Olson: 119 photo sets 163 videos
Cassandra Calogera: 25 photo sets 30 videos
Charmane Star: 38 photo sets 29 videos
Devon Lee: 10 photo sets 75 videos
Dylan Ryder: 17 photo sets 57 videos
Hanna Hilton: 48 photo sets 53 videos
Lane Sisters: 54 photo sets 136 videos
I can't be certain but I don't get the impression any of those sites are adding any new content these days. I only signed up for the Sunny Leone photo sets as I previously had access to most of the other sites listed there with my subscription to Aaliyah Love back in 2013. The odd thing is several of those sites seem to have lost a lot of their content since 2013, back then I saved over 70 photo sets from Dylan Ryder and now there are only 17 on the site, similarly with Cassandra Calogera,70 photo sets in 2013 and now only 25.
Anyway at the end of the day I got over 600 photo sets and a good bunch of hd videos of Sunny Leone for five bucks so I'm well happy but the score 78 reflects what is basically now just an archive collection. |

My connection is slightly slower than yours at 38 Meg but I usually get between 2-4 Mb/sec at most sites, I don't think I was getting much more than 2 Mb/sec at The Black Alley though.

Hi mbaya,
I see Amanda has partially answered your question, yes I was aware of the download limit before I signed up, since I'm not that bothered about videos I was hoping 30 days times 5GB would be enough for me to get want I wanted but it turned out the site had a lot more content than I was expecting which was mainly due to the site not having a very comprehensive tour. In the preview area they only show 185 models when there's actually 300 and the tour doesn't allow you to click on the models to preview there content so I had no idea that I was going to find many models with 50, 60, 80, or 100 or more photo sets.
Since the video specs are not hd the file sizes are not huge, none of the ones I downloaded were more than 250 mb so I guess that means you could download around 20 videos a day with your 5 GB allowance. I'll add a line to my review regarding the file sizes.

These days it only takes about half an hour to download 5 GB so yes it is frustrating as hell to be paying a premium price for a website you can only use for half an hour a day. One Sunday evening at the end of March I thought I'd waited my 24 hours from my last session the night before to go in and get my daily 5 gigs but after downloading only 3 photo sets I got blocked and then it occurred to me that I'd forgotten the clocks had gone forward 1 hour for the start of British Summer time so in fact it had only been 23 hours. I then had to wait another 24 hours to get back in again....really annoying.

|
| Pros: |
Billing by CCBill, no regional pricing or cross sales.
100% exclusive and unique Asian glamour content.
New photo shoots and videos added several times a week.
Good quality photos and videos (although not quite hd specs)
Zip downloads for the photos.
Decent download speeds.
The archives of the old Asian 4 You site that closed down over 10 years ago are included. |
| Cons: |
The biggest con without a doubt is the 5 GB per 24 hours download limit.
Expensive by today's standards at $29.95 a month.
Photo shoots all have that glossy airbrushed look to them so may not be to everyone's taste.
Quite a lot of models with fake tits and/or tattoos.
The content is about 99% solo glamour here, although that's not a con for me personally it should be noted here for anyone who is looking for harder content.
Latest video updates only have 1 download option.
No streaming of videos available.
None of the content date stamped apart from the most recent updates.
Lack of navigational features, no way to search or sort the models or content, no categories or tags, no user interaction such as add to favorites, comments or model ratings.
Need to stay 3 months to get access to the VIP area. |
| Bottom Line: |
I was always a fan of the old Asian 4 You site back in the day so I was always going to join this site at some point, it's just taken me a long time to get around to it. I believe The Black Alley has been online something like 10 years although it's difficult to be exact since none of the content is date stamped apart from the most recent updates but the site stats would seem to suggest a site that has been regularly updating for that length of time. Again it's hard to be precise with the site stats due to the way the site is laid out but from what I've downloaded I can gauge that there are approximately 300 models in at least 3529 photo sets (385,000+ total pics) and 1129 videos. If you add in the A4Y archives that gives you another 2000+ photo sets (120,000+ pics) and another 242 videos.
When I first signed up back in March I thought the site had stopped updating as the latest updates were showing dates in January but it soon became apparent that new content was being added, just that the updates calender is running 2 months behind schedule, the latest updates from this last week are now showing March dates. In the last week I've seen 6 new photo sets and 3 new videos added and this seems to be what you can expect most weeks.
The photo shoots here are high end glossy professional glamour shoots, gorgeous Asian models shot in a variety of stunning indoor and outdoor locations with professionally styled hair and make up, sexy outfits, lots of sexy underwear, stockings and high heels. The majority of sets go from clothed to explicit nudity with spreading, masturbation and sometimes toy play. The models all have that flawless airbrushed look to the extent that the skin tone can sometimes look unnatural particularly in close up shots so that style may not be to everyone's taste if you don't like to see all the blemishes smoothed out.
Around 90% of the photo collection has the option of 2 sizes, a larger one at 1333 x 2000 and a smaller size at 920 x 1379 (although they've recently stopped offering the low resolution option with the new updates) with both sizes available in a zip or to view online. I'm afraid there's no online photo viewer or slide slow feature to view the photos online, I'm afraid it's click photo, hit back button, select next photo and so on. A small number of what must be the oldest sets don't offer the larger size photos.
The videos fall into 3 basic categories; you have Behind The Scenes, Private Videos and Masturbation videos. BTS is basically a video of the photo shoot, usually 5 to 10 minutes duration with background music. Private videos you might see the model doing a slow sensual striptease, sometimes doing a sexy dance, sometimes taking a bath or shower, they would often show the model touching herself but generally stop short of masturbation. Again these videos are 5 to 10 minutes duration with background music. The masturbation videos are definitely the best ones, a bit longer at around 15 minutes and no background music so you can hear the sounds of the model as she pleasures herself. The latest videos are offered as an mp4 file at 1080 x 600 @ 3000k, not quite hd specs but they certainly looked good on my monitor. A lot of the older videos though are only 720 x 400 @ 2000k, they don't look as good but certainly not unwatchable. The videos are listed with just a small preview thumbnail picture and a link to either download the video or view video info. Clicking video info will show you the duration, file size, resolution and display 30 small thumbnail sized screencap preview pictures.
The most frustrating thing about this site for me was the 5 GB per 24 hours download limit. I can confirm it's enforced because I managed to get locked out on 3 occasions for a period of 24 hours. If you are downloading close to the 5 gigs every day then you basically have to schedule your downloading for the same time every day because it works on a 24 hour time scale which is a real pain. In my mind the limit is nothing but a cash grab designed to force you to stick around longer to get what you want. If you're like me when it comes to this kind of softcore glamour content and like to download every photo set of every model in the largest resolution then it's not possible to do it in one month as the photo collection is close to 200 GB in total making the site expensive with a mimimum spend of $60 required for what I wanted to download. If I also wanted a large number of videos it could cost considerably more although they do tempt you with access to the VIP zone with a load more photo sets and videos if you stick around for a third month.
The only positive thing I can say about the download limit is that they are upfront about it and mention it on the join page. File sizes on average for photo zips are between 40 – 80 MB and video sizes generally 200 – 250 MB which means on average 80 to 90 photo zips or 20 videos with your daily download allowance. |

| Pros: |
PU/TBP discounted price.
Huge archive dating as far back as 2004.
High quality photos and videos.
Daily updates, 6 photo sets and 1 video per week.
Photos can be browsed online or downloaded in a zip in 3 different sizes.
Excellent file naming, zips contain name of site, date of issue, model name, set name and photographer name. How I wish all sites would do this.
Videos have the option to stream online in up to 4 different sizes or up to 6 different download options.
Excellent navigation and search options on a par with other sites in the Met Art Network.
User interaction includes ratings, comments and tags.
Excellent download speeds. |
| Cons: |
Deceptive regional pricing, (.e.g. Display price in $ USD and charge same figure in £ GBP)
Cross sale pre-selected in drop down menu on payment page.
Earliest videos from 2006 and before have no streaming option and no hd downloads.
Many photo sets start out nude or with little in the way of clothing.
They have a tendency to split photo sets in to 2 updates often released weeks, months or even years apart. |
| Bottom Line: |
The last time I joined Errotica Archives was way back in late 2008 at which time it was a fairly unique solo photographer site featuring the work of the Czech photographer named Erro hence the name of the site (Erro)tica Archives and back then the site featured predominantly models from the Czech Republic. In recent years though it appears the site has become more of an extension of Met Art with an increasing number of Russian and Ukrainian models and many different photographers now contributing towards the daily updates which adds a bit more variety in styles. There are still on average 5 or 6 shoots from Erro added every month and his work accounts for around two thirds of the total photo sets on the site.
This site has been updating daily for over 11 years so the collection has grown considerably since my last visit now boasting 512 models in a total of 3,777 photo sets and 594 videos as of today. The vast majority of the content is solo girls posing nude in artistic erotic shoots with plenty of close ups but nothing much in the way of sexual activity to get you really excited. In some of the videos you may see some of the models touching themselves between their legs or running their fingers across the top of their pussy but it's not what you would call masturbation in the true sense of the word. There are a number of photo sets and videos featuring two girls but again little in the way of sexual activity, mostly just touching and caressing. I did find one quite hot video featuring Dido and Iwia A from September 2012 titled “Spring Break” which had them giving each other a good pussy licking, fingering and masturbation but I think that was the exception rather than the rule.
The download options are pretty uniform across all Met Art Network sites these days. You get your photo sets in High, Medium and low resolution. For me as a collector the medium at 2048 px long end is the perfect compromise between quality and file size. Back in 2008 when I joined the medium size was only 1200 px so I found myself going through and replacing all my old stuff with the larger size. The largest resolution photos can be anything from around 4000 px up to 7500 px long end. My one complaint about the photo sets as mentioned in my cons is their tendency to issue them in two parts often weeks months or even years apart. As an example the model Nadia, photo set titled “Voiture” issued 15th January 2010, the rest of the “Voiture” photo set appeared on 27th October 2014, that's not far off 5 years to complete a photo set which is ridiculous. Personally I would rather see an update of a full photo set on 15 days a month than 30 days of half photo sets with 50-60 pictures.
Videos can be streamed in 1080 HD, 720 HD, Standard Definition and Mobile. The download options are 1080p HD, 720p HD, 360p, 270p, WMV and Divx AVI. The HD videos go back as far as October 2006 and before that you just have a choice of a low resolution wmv or avi download. The latest 1080p videos that I downloaded came as mp4 files with a bitrate around 5k. All videos I've watched so far have a musical backing track.
In summary if you like stunningly beautiful young women in softcore artistic solo shoots you can't go far wrong with any of the sites in the Met Art Network including this one. |

It wasn't just you jook, I also had that problem with browsing the videos and getting dumped back on the first page after clicking on a video....I did mention it in my review.
Same as you I was also a little concerned that when I cancelled about 2 weeks before my membership expired I recieved no email acknowledgement of the cancellation, however they did send an email on the last day of my membership informing me that my membership is due to expire that day and my card would not be charged again so I think you probably have nothing to worry about.
