Thanks for that Monahan. I'm using Google Chrome and that seems to be the problem. I tried using Internet Explorer as you suggested and the "issue" has gone away.
Have you noticed that recently you cannot enter this site directly from TBP? You can only enter from one of the other niche sites and then join for $19.95 per month.

Pros:
* Interesting and original themes and some good fetish ones: Berlin Public Bangers (outdoors), Fitness Fuck (Gym), Spin to Swing (Swingers), Ass Bangers' Ball, Nylon Feet Doll, Rubber Penetration
* Good variety of German por nstars that you will not find on other websites
Cons:
* Poor-quality videos, only 2K bitrate
* Download mangers don't work: you can only download one video at a time
* Server has throttled the download speed to something ridiculously slow: only about 200 to 300kb
* Download limit, which is not advertised and it's quite a modest allowance; I calculated about 4GB per day
* Customer service - what's that?
Bottom Line:
Burning ticket is the website name for the studio Inflagranti and I have some of their DVDs, which are excellent quality. This is a German studio and when you think of German, you usually think of good quality (such as German cars, engineering). Well, forget that here. Unfortunately the owners of this website seem to have gone to quite some length to make this an unpleasant experience.
Inflagranti's DVDs are of high quality, being crystal clear images but it appears that for the website they have downgraded the DVDs to a very low standard: 2000K. The scenes are not very clear and Ass Bangers' Ball and Gangbang Arena are quite bad because of the poor lighting.
However, it doesn't stop there. When downloading a scene, you cannot do anything else on the website: the server locks you out. So, I used my download manager to download at a later time and in the meantime cherry-picked what I wanted to see.
The server has throttled the download speed to a mere 200 to 300Kb and even though the file sizes are quite small (200-300MB due to the poor quality), it still takes about 20-30 minutes to download a scene.
But wait, there's more to add to the customer experience! There is a download limit that's not advertised on their website, which I think is quite despicable. After hitting about 4GB, I kept getting a server error message that my session had timed out. I sent a message to the webmaster - but no reply. I noticed that if you wait after 24 or 48 hours, you can download again.
This is the second time that I have joined this site: the first time was about 4 years' ago and now I remember why I said that I would never join this site after my first experience. I do seem to remember receiving an email from the webmaster the first time when I hit the download limit and the reply confirmed that there was a limit but I can't remember what the exact limit was.
Unfortunately it is difficult to recommend this site because of the quality and technical issues, which in my opinion are a real drawback for this site. Inflagranti do some really good stuff but this is not one of them. I can't help but feel that the website is there simply to point you in the direction of buying their DVDs, where the studio makes better money with better quality scenes.
I received an offer to rejoin for US$10 and I decided to take a punt. I was very pleased with my decision because most of the previous issues I mentioned in my previous review have been addressed.
What I noticed after my initial review is that the international site is radically different from the Spanish one but it now appears that the difference between the two is slight. The biggest improvement is that you now have access to over 1,300 videos (as opposed to the previous 320) on the international site.
Also the download issue has been resolved and I had no problems with using a download manager and getting excellent download speeds. Hooray!
I noticed that now I have access to all 1,300+ videos, there is a better balance between American and non-American pornstars with the latter definitely in the majority. In fact, from the last time I was a member (back in June) there have been only a couple of scenes using American pornstars. That's great news in my opinion because if you're looking for fresh talent, this site uses a good mix of Spanish, Russian, Czech and Hungarian girls.
This is not a site if you are looking for sensual scenes - in that case go to X-Art, SexArt, Wow Porn - but for me Cumlouder delivers exactly what I want: the girls are hot and guys are easy on the eye (though it seems to be always the same four guys) and the scenes are intense.
Where this site needs lots of improvement is its search ability. Pornomaniac said a previous review (29 Sept 2012) that some Spanish sites are not showing on the international one. I have checked and they are all there but not necessarily with the same name for each sub-site. Also, when you search through each sub-site, you only see the last two years of activity. If you want to access the older stuff the only way to do that is search by the girl's name and that should show you her entire portfolio. But be careful how you do that: you must type in the girl's name and not use the list of pornstars' name because the latter doesn't always show you the entire portfolio of scenes. If you search by the girls' name as I've mentioned then you will find all the scenes from the Spanish sites on the international one. Needles to say, this is quite frustrating.
The download issue means that one should avoid this site. I was prepared to give Cumlouder the benefit of the doubt by hoping the downloads would be so mind-blowingly fantastic that I would shoot my load onto the ceiling in their honour - but no!
A quick count of Marco Banderas (American actor fucking American Hispanics) reveals that he is in about 50 videos and there are only about 120 videos in total. So you quickly get an idea that this site is losing its uniqueness. (And not that I have anything against Marco.)

Pros:
* Good mix of "fresh" faces: mostly Spanish and Catalan with some Hungarian, Czech or Russian girls.
* The site is easy to navigate with good hyperlinks so it's easy to find a girl (or guy), and special themes: outdoor, anal (there is lots of that), creampie, etc.
* All videos are HD and reasonably sharp (though not as crystal-clear as Brazzers)
* Appears to be quite a fun site (even though I don't understand Spanish) with the guys knowing how to joke with the girls and about the situation, which makes the scenes quite enjoyable
Cons:
* Internet download managers don't work and so you can only download one (or two) videos at a time and it's all throttled to 160-170 KB/s. Most videos are at about 1.5GB and so this takes at least 2 hours to download. And then there is the added frustration that their server may time out and so you have to start again, from the very beginning, to download anything. Try downloading a 2.6GB video and you'll be waiting 4 hours!
* No customer support. I had a problem at the beginning whereby the website didn't recognize my account and wouldn't let me login. I wrote to customer support and have heard nothing. Fortunately I was able to login a couple of days later.
* The scenes always are in a hotel room or else a van; there's not enough variety and I would have thought in a hot, Mediterranean country like Spain there would be more fucking in the great outdoors.
* The server doesn't remember your login details.
Bottom Line:
I subscribed to Cumlouder because I was looking for some fresh faces and I thought that being a Spanish (actually, Catalan) site, I was hoping it would show stereotypical Latino sex: aggressive, assertive, deep-throating, slapping, rough sex. I was disappointed. There is some of that, but by-and-large, the sex was rather plain.
Also, quite a few of the scenes use American-born Hispanic girls that you'll see on any other site: Brazzers, Naughty America, Porn Pros, etc. with American male actors: typically Marco Banderas. This is a shame because the site will lose its point of difference by offering viewers uniquely Spanish porn.
The download restrictions are what kill this site, in my opinion. Offering HD videos is great, but when they're so large and the download speed is restricted to 170KB/s, that's completely unacceptable, especially when you're paying US$20 per month.
However, through Cumlouder I stumbled across another Spanish site: MMM100, which seems to fit the bill for what I was after: good, hard fucking with Spanish (and French) girls with a number of different scenarios - particularly outdoor scenes. However, I noticed that they're all using condoms (which is a turn-off for me).
The download issues make it very difficult to recommend this site. You can download a maximum of two videos contemporaneously but anything more, and you'll find that the server times out and you're back to the beginning. Even if you're patient and let the videos download overnight (which is what I'd do), I was hoping that my patience may pay off by seeing some good Spanish porn but I was left wanting more. Maybe I'm expecting too much after all the obstacles of trying to download their videos.
Even if the download restrictions were resolved, I don't think I could rate this more than 80 because of the overuse of American pornstars and the rather unimaginative sex scenes.
I don't think it has anything to do with the number of users. I can only get one channel with Internet Download Manager and that is because Cumloader has deliberatley configured their server to throttle the downloads, which makes it incredibly slow and I'm finding also that the IDM keeps timing out so that I can't download anything yet.
I have complained and let's see what happens. If the situation doesn't improve soon, then I'll want my money back.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
* Access to 13 sites
* Excellent mix of glamour, fetish and hardcore erotica
* Super-hot European babes
* Huge quantity of videos and pictures with regular updates
* Superb video and picture quality - it doesn't get much better than this
* Exclusive content
* Download manager (IDM) worked flawlessly
* Excellent customer service - these guys really do care about their customers
Cons:
Ummm ... nothing. Nil. Zilch.
Bottom Line:
I really loved this site. Very rarely do you get a site with incredibly gorgeous women who put on such a great performance. I'm not a big fan of glamour sites but this was definitely different and the mix of hardcore and fetish sites made DDF Network very worthwhile.
The quality of the videos was the best: 12,000Kbps MPEG at 1920x1080. There are only a handful of other sites that come anywhere near to these incredible specifications. Even the 1280x720 videos have a bitrate of 4,000Kbps which is excellent. The quality was crystal-clear and flawless. The download manager worked every time and with fast download speeds.
The video scenes are technically well-shot and there are enough themes to keep you always interested. In one week I counted about 21 updates, which is well above the average of other sites. Not all is hardcore: there are foot fetishes, blowjobs, and solo performances as well as bondage, Euro teen and the usual gonzo. There is a lot of anal, which I don't mind, and even anal creampies - and that's something you don't see too much on American/British sites. My only slight complaint is the sets: not enough variety and there are no outdoor scenes.
I can't say enough about the quality of their customer service. The best ever. After initially joining HansOnHardcore by mistake - I thought that this would get me access to the entire network - the webmaster got in touch with me and let me join DDF Network for the same price. Thanks so much.
I don't give such high scores because I'm very fussy and demanding. DDF Network: you rock!
I joined this site about a couple of hours ago because I had a reduced offer and thought "what the heck" if I can't download. Good news is that you can download the movies. You must have a download manager; I use IDM. On the selected movie, in the "Settings" button, just select HTTP for your streaming option, click on the movie to play it and IDM will then give you an option to "Download this video"; left click and save to your directory. Enjoy.
Beware! This site hasn't updated since early March 2015 and because it's a stand-alone site, once you part with your money, there is no other site to download from. I paid for one month and that didn't bother me too much because I managed to get some new updates from when I last joined; however, one member joined for a year - ouch! And with no updates in sight and no offer for a refund or to join another Kink site, that's unacceptable for such a high-price site.
I was only interested in 2 sites: Helpless Teens and Sexual Disgrace. The files are quite large - about 1.5GB to 3.5GB. Download managers don't work to accelerate download speed and the normal download speed was only about one-third the speed I normally get, which makes for a very long download time: about 45 minutes and more. This is unacceptable when a site has such large files. Unfortunately, I didn't think the movies were all that good anyway.
I have been considering joining this site but wasn't sure if the old content is still available because the site only shows the new material and there isn't too much of that.
I received an offer to join at 19.95 for each month and I'm tempted.
I agree that Hands On Hardcore doesn't state that you get access to the DDF Network. I relied on the review in TBP which states "for close to $27 bucks per month, one can expect to gain access to a highly organized archive of high quality babes in hardcore pictures (79,100) and video (791), as well as complete Network access to all DDF Network sites". The review is wrong.
I believe that under the words where it says "2 Day Free Trial" that you should also say "2 days' notice is required to cancel".
And I agree, you do offer high quality content and that's why I don't mind paying the monthly subscription because of the awesome quality. I only wish that I could have cancelled within the 2-day trial because I would instead have joined DDF Network to get access to all those great sites.
If you decide to join "for free" through the 2-day trial period, beware that you must give at least 2 days' notice to terminate. In other words, you will end up paying the full subscription rate of $26.99 for a whole month (+ 2 days). This is deceptive.
If you join through this site - like I did - you don't get access to the DDF Network. For a couple of extra dollars, I could have had the entire network!
I have been a member of Kink for about four years on and off. I liked Bound Gangbangs because of the bondage and that's what made it so special; for me, Hardcore Gangbang is just a gangbang site with a bit of "rough stuff" and rather passe. Many members complained about Bound Gangbangs not having enough bondage in the later scenes, which was due to the bondage-meister who did the actual rope bondage(called shibari) leaving to form his own website and hence Hardcore Gangbang appeared. Also, the earlier scenes of Bound Gangbang had many un-named male performers who were not pornstars, which really was quite different. Now it's all big-name male (and female) pornstars.
The "hard" scenes are usually the takedown in the beginning and, yes, sometimes there is some spitting and rough handling but, quite frankly, it's very unconvincing when many of the times the female is smiling or grinning.
I resubscribed to Hardcore Gangbang a few days ago to catch up on what's new (after being offered a discounted rate) but I find that many of the women aren't that appealing in the newer scenes and the price is way too high for a single site.
Also, try FuckedandBound. I have a current membership and that is bondage with rough sex done supremely well which, in my opinion, makes Hardcore Gangbang look like a Buddhist tea-party.

Pros:
* Great mix of beautiful British, American and European pornstars
* Tasteful and erotic DBSM, gangbangs, 1on1, teens, MILFS, anal, creampies, etc: there's something for everyone
* Movie quality is 720p, 3000kbps
Cons:
* Deceptive advertising to join about number of videos offered
* Deceptive advertising about quality of videos
* Download speed is slow
* Too many up-sales to join other sites
Bottom Line:
I have always had a soft spot for this studio and have downloaded many of their videos from Videobox and VideosZ. The site advertises that you get access to "the entire Harmony Films Library" on their front page. "Great" I thought. Wrong!!! On Videobox and VideosZ there are about 130 Harmony movies but on Harmony's dedicated website there are only 83 movies.
The deception doesn't stop there. When selecting a movie to download, there is an option to download "Full HD 1080p". Yet when you finish downloading your 1080p movie, it turns out they're only 720p. In fact, all their movies are 720p at best.
This site is part of the Stiffia network and from what I can figure out, this network is designed to show you just enough movies to entice to join their Video on Demand service and pay extra for the other movies.
Download speed was slow for me: only about half the speed I can normally get on other sites.
There were some other sites I was interested in joining on the Stiffia network: Purzel, PinkO, but given the problems with Harmony I was put off from wasting any more money on this network.
Good news: I did find some good movies to add to my collection.
Thanks for a great review Pat. I have been thinking of joining for a long time but have been put off by the high price for this site and the fact that he's split his work into two sites. However, I do like his work but I know there are other gonzo/anal sites that are far, far cheaper and have just as good a content. I'll probably join for a month and then move on.
I agree that LP has no competition these days because they're the only ones doing gangbang and orgies; all the other major porn studios have focused on 1-on-1. There are a few exceptions such as Kink and ZTOD, but they seem to be in decline. That's why I like the old studios such as Anabolic, Diabolic, Red Light District, Mayhem, Acid Rain; they were all doing lots of gangbangs, orgies, swallowing, creampies etc and that was about 10-15 years ago.
