Most recent scenes are available in 5 minute segments. I can't tell you the exact date when they switched but maybe it was about a month ago when they launched the new Members Area layout. Older scenes are still available in 2 minute segments, not 1 as you suggested.
Bangbros Network is currently transitioning into a new Members Area layout. Like they did last time, both the new and old layouts are still available. Even though, the short segment downloads are available in both layouts.
The new layout calls them 2-5 minute segments (I guess it's to cope with the fact they've changed the segment length for new scenes but haven't updated the segments from old ones). Old layout still calls them 2 minute segments, despite the new ones are 5 minutes.
Both layouts still offer all scenes chopped in 4 parts.

You just had to be a regular member of BangBros: you got a page asking you to choose whether you wanted to continue to regular site or beta site when you tried to log in. The beta had a different URL but you had to use your regular login and password.
I currently don't have access to BangBros so I don't know if the beta is still running. It's been 4 months so it could well be the beta is now closed and they rolled the changes into production.
You may get an answer from a current member regarding dl if you write a new comment asking specifically for what's the current dl situation.

I'm also using the beta site and I don't see a download limit either. I've downloaded up to 8 Gbytes from a single site in 12 hours and haven't hit any noticeable limit.

They are using regional pricing: different regions get different prices. Many other sites also use it. Some webmasters have replied to questions similar to yours.
There are a couple forum threads on this issue:

Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
|
Pros: |
- Mobile version of Bangbros Network.
- All new content is available here at the same time.
- Bangbros Network login works here too.
- No need to login every time you visit the site.
- 1,530 scenes (everything since November, 2009).
- Same size pictures as regular site (new ones, 2000x1300).
- Screencaps for all updates.
- One format for videos: 480x360 MP4 900kbps.
- Easy to browse around on a phone.
- May jump several pages (in galleries or scene lists).
- Good metadata: all models’ names on multi-model updates.
- Browse videos by “Date”, “Top Rated” and filter by categories.
- Browse models by “Top Rated” or “Latest”. |
Cons: |
- Only 1/3 of all BangBros Network scenes are available.
- 320px wide layout raises issues when flipping device.
- Only one format for videos. No trailers.
- I was unable to play any video on my phone.
- The videos I managed to download were letterboxed.
- Thumbnails of portrait images appear distorted.
- Full size images may be too big for a mobile site (2 Mbytes).
- No Search or Alphabetical model browsing.
- None of regular site’s social features: likes, favorites, ratings. |
Bottom Line: |
This is the mobile “optimized” version of Bangbros Network. You may access it with any browser but it wouldn’t make sense doing it from anything but a phone. It has a fixed width of 320 pixels. 320x480 was the resolution of the first 3 generations of the iPhone (until iPhone 4) and most of the first mobile “optimized” sites were in fact “iPhone” optimized. Nowadays, it doesn’t make any sense to force a fixed width on a mobile site given there are much more devices that may benefit from a mobile version, each with its own resolution. I don’t know if it’s related to this but the page doesn’t re-render to fill the screen when I flip my phone to landscape mode; this is frustrating and rare for a mobile site.
I had serious issues with videos. For some reason, I couldn’t get any video to stream or download on my phone, getting server not found errors or my phone plain refusing to play them. On my desktop computer, I managed to download some but they all were saved as “membercheck”, without extension. Windows Media Player Classic couldn’t play them, not even adding an .mp4 extension but VLC did. I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with them. Even if your device has no problem with the videos, you’ll probably wish they had trailers.
As for the photos, they have the same issue as the regular Bangbros Network site: all thumbnails are displayed with the same 150x100 dimensions. The actual thumbnail images have the right dimensions but they are scaled through HTML on the page; this obviously renders portrait thumbnails absolutely distorted. They shoot mainly landscape photos but the issue sometimes appears from the first photo: when they shoot “pretty girl” photos in portrait mode. Other than that, it’s fairly easy to move around and jump several pages forward to avoid repeated photos. Screencaps are welcome.
As it is now, it has little use but to know which scenes have been released recently. No video access and there are several issues with photo browsing. They’ve recently launched a new version of the regular members area where they have finally solved the issue with thumbnails. Hope they bring some of that to the mobile site. Bangbros Network has some great content but its mobile site has a lot of room for improvement. |

Sorry, cannot help you with that: bad search engines are a pet peeve of mine and all I did to write my first reply was a quick search at iafd.
Thanks for pointing to the site. Buried within the site, I saw several scenes of personal favorites of mine. It's a pity you have to rely on a free resource like iafd to get the most of sites you are paying for.

Looks like most DVDs are from the Caballero studio. At iafd, Racquel Darrian is only listed as having 2 films with this studio. "Andrew Blake's Girls" was released recently and Racquel Darrian should be there (although I'm not sure looking at the screen caps in the free tour). They might release the other movie in the future: "Night Trips 2".

Most likely, not.
FWIW, the free tour claims they are currently releasing scenes but, if you check the headers sent by their server, all images from these updates were last modified back in 2008.

This seems to be a common practice by this company. They have been doing the same thing for some months at Christy Marks.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I used to think the Girlvert series had quite a following so I don't understand why they are offering it with a different name through this site. Looks like the plot / recurring story is thinner than I thought.
One correction, though: Ashley Blue is NOT the director of the Girlvert series. According to iafd.com, she's been appearing in the series since #2 but the director is Jim Powers. Among other things, Ashley Blue's directed the "Attention Whores" series which also has an interesting premise: porn stars who act as divas / prima donnas during their scenes. The result, depending on the porn stars involved, can be quite funny.

"Dixie" is played by Ashley Blue, a well known porn star who also directs a DVD series entitled "Girlvert". As the themes are almost identical, I believe this site could consist of the scenes from that series alone. There should be a recurring story behind the different titles in the series, which might be interesting if you can catch them all in a single site. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for clarifying. I find the linkifying useful in many ways apart from the obvious link to the site info. I was just afraid that I'd have to keep writing the cumbersome Brazzer's Pass to get a link when talking about Brazzers.

Is there something else you have to do in order to automatically linkify the text whenever someone writes Brazzers ? I just updated my review to change the name of the network to Brazzers and it didn't get linkified.
(Edit: Neither this reply got linkified)

Pros: |
-2,000+ exclusive scenes over 25 sites. 2 new scenes daily.
-Lots of well-known porn stars. Elaborated setups, scripts.
-Video formats: MP4, WMV, MPEG. 640x480, 1200kbps.
-Also available in IPOD format and 1 or 5 minute segments.
-Simple flash streaming but easy access to scene key points.
-Very good site navigation and information display.
-Decent search engine; sortable by date, rating, views...
-130 possible keywords, 5-6 keywords per scene.
-Links to other scenes with the same star at scene home.
-Community focus: forum, social network, user comments.
-Easily suggest a scenario or request a model.
-Interaction with some stars through forum or their profile.
-List of 3-4 upcoming scenes with trailer.
-1,000 images per scene. 600x900. Zip files.
-Offer to join Mofos Network at a discount price. |
Cons: |
-Limited variety in female model ethnicity and body type.
-Lots of big fake boobs and tattoos. Big on all site names.
-Videos are not widescreen. Somewhat low bitrates.
-Session timeouts without closing browser.
-Short-lived download URLs. It's futile to query downloads.
-Performer names are sometimes missing from scene.
-Much emphasis on cock size. Small male talent pool.
-Unknown billing provider. Canceling was simple, though.
-Some old scenes have broken video downloads.
-Lots of spam in scene comments. |
Bottom Line: |
Brazzers caters to the big fake boobs getting fucked by huge cocks niche extremely well. Looking at the top 20 stars with the most scenes, all have huge boobs but the only one with natural tits is Gianna Michaels. Perhaps it's because of the very similar makeup but, looking at a list of scenes, I sometimes have a hard time telling apart the stars from just the preview. They all look the same to me.
Site design and navigation left me a great impression. The look is consistent throughout the site and everything seems to be two clicks away at most; I wish, though, that they solved some of the metadata glitches: why on Earth do they have only the guy name in some of the scenes cast list?
Flawless search engine, favorite options, detailed star profiles, plenty of keywords, ... I confess I ran out of space when listing the pros. I found specially cool the request feature: you get to make 10 performer requests per month by the simple click of a button. I don't know how much they'll listen to it but it felt good.
There's also a lot of community options. Not only the extremely active forum (a forum should be a must for any site) but they also recently embedded a sort of social network (a la facebook or MySpace) that lets users and, more importantly, porn stars get a profile, message between them, upload photos and videos, leave comments and so on. Didn't try much of it but, since several porn stars have been active in the forums for a long time, I suppose this Brazzpace / Facezzers might eventually get some traction.
It's weird that Brazzers doesn't release videos in widescreen format and still goes with 4:3. There was even a recent survey in the members area where more than 50% of users answered that they'd rather have videos in Widescreen HD; almost 70% demanded widescreen regardless of quality. Funny thing is 20% answered they didn't care about format as long as they got their porn. |

Thanks for your input. Self control is much needed here. I enjoyed this site but I would never recommend it to anyone with an addictive personality.
As I said in my review, this is the first cam site I've ever bought credits at. The main problem, here and probably in any cam site, is that there's no limit to the amount you can spend in a given time period. Here you can buy up to 100 USD, blow them in 10 minutes and nothing prevents you from buying a 100 USD more half an hour later.
This site offers, though, a simple but very clear account of all your transactions: credits bought and spent. You may even filter by performer and/or date interval. I don't know if other cam sites offer similar information but I found this feature very helpful.

Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
|
Pros: |
-ccbill for members' area and webcam credits (buying credits is extremely easy).
-Lots of interaction with the models via free forum. Some models average 20 posts per day.
-Free clips section with lots of non-nude teasing clips from the same models.
[Pay-per-minute Webcam Shows]
-Much greater looking models than other networks I've seen.
-Around 80 models. Mostly from US (80%) and Canada (15%).
-Private is non-nude teasing (avg: 4.5 USD/min). VIP is usually topless (avg: 8.5 USD/min).
-Account of credits bought and spent.
-Most regular models do chats at lower prices several times a month.
-Cam to cam available (I didn't try it).
[Members' area]
-Membership gives you 20% discount at live shows.
-Free members-only chats form Sunday to Thursday (about 40 shows a month; 15% of them at Europe-friendly hours).
-Members-only chats are available for replay on the next day (FLV format, 30-60 minutes each).
-Access to forum's advanced functionality (message models, particular models forum, etc) |
Cons: |
-3 different logins for members area, forum and webcams.
[Pay-per-minute Webcam Shows]
-No preview. Ask model or check the forum (most post daily previews of their outfit there).
-Cannot record the shows.
-Requires a series of steps every time to get the member discount.
-Some chats use Java: I had to install latest version on my computer to avoid crashing Firefox every time.
-Some have particular requirements; for instance, only go topless if you have 50+ credits. Check the forums.
-European perspective: at times, noticeable lag and freezing; few models (5-10) in the evening and almost always the same ones.
-You have to go to Nude Adult Cams at higher prices to get the models a step further.
[Members' area]
-Download limit. 1 Gbyte every 6 hours. Slow download speeds.
-Small image and video resolutions. All the content is non-nude.
-Cumbersome. Exact amount of content is unknown. Members' area v.1 is hard to find (has more content than v.2).
-Regional pricing. Cam credits do not. |
Bottom Line: |
Separately, they wouldn't amount to much: a somewhat expensive cam network with few but good looking models and a cumbersome non-nude pay site with low resolutions and not that much interesting content except for the daily chats. Glued together through the forum, though, they are a powerful combo. Many of the models are extremely active there and, even though they often get into endless teasing mildly-sexual "post wars" with the same members, it's a great way to know about their personalities. And some of them have quite interesting ones. You also get them to tease you through the members' area content and, if you want some 1-on-1 naughty time and have the credits, they are there for you.
This site has a steep learning curve. For starters, this company has several slightly similar sites and it's easy to get lost in a jungle of acronyms of sites that may or may not have the same models doing more or less than they do here: CWH, NAC (Nude Adult Cams), Pchats, Mchats, NNC (Non-Nude Cams), ... For me, coming from a different culture, a different language, and a different age group (I've got a strong feeling this site is targeted at people in their early 20s) was a real handicap. Also, the difference between the private and VIP chats is common knowledge but I didn't find it written anywhere. To top it all, in order to get the 20% member discount, you have to go through a route similar to that of Indy at the end of "The Last Crusade" or you won't get it at all.
I did several pay-per-minute chats. I was a total newbie but my experience varied from model to model. I guess varying satisfaction is commonplace in all cam networks. Some put up a great show, talking and acknowledging what I was saying. Others, despite their great looks, went through the motions and paid more attention to things in their room than to me.
I wish I knew what prompted me to join this site. Now I know that many of the models are extremely popular on various tube/clip sites but I've never visited those site so I just probably stumbled upon it and some model caught my eye. I was member for a month but canceled my membership a couple days before renewal. The content was almost impossible to download for me and consisted mainly of teasing photo shoots and related videos. The chats were mostly at 3 AM in the night and having the 20% discount was cool but I'd have to spend more than a 100 EUR per month in credits to make it worth. Even though, I cannot promise I will not come back for a 1-on-1 show with certain models from time to time. |

Melissa Debling is certainly a looker. Site stopped updating but, according to the free tour, you now get access to 5 more sites from this company : Emma Frain.co.uk, Georgie Darby, Hannah May Rose, Kelly Andrews.co.uk and Rhian Marie Sugden (this last one is currently down, though). My guess is they've made a pack with all the sites that are no longer updating. 5 non-updating sites at the price of one might be worth a try.

Thanks for the review. I was in fact browsing the free tour a couple days ago. What you describe doesn't look much different from what I saw at the other couple sites from this company I reviewed: Melissa Debling and Official Lindsey Strutt. The settings don't look much different either. All the models are extraordinarily good looking but feels like they have only a couple locations to shoot at and fewer ideas.

Was a member approx. 6 months prior to this review.
|
Pros: |
- Official site of cam model Christina Ryder aka KissChristina.
- No tattoos. A couple small piercings. Decent boob job.
- 30+ photo galleries. Mostly solo with some toys.
- Maximum resolution: 1200x800. 20 photos per set. Zips.
- A couple boy-girl photo sets. Blowjob only, fixed camera.
- 25+ videos. Mostly solo, a couple blowjobs and 1 intercourse.
- Maximum resolution: 1280x720, 1500kbps.
- Videos available both for download and stream.
- Photos and videos from same set are linked.
- OK site for a cam girl.
- Actively working to improve the site. |
Cons: |
- Amateur flare in all content.
- Updates are not dated. They don't come regularly.
- Certificate error alert when accessing video streams.
- Small photos. Some sets are all or in part screengrabs of videos.
- Photos and videos are almost always taken at the same room.
- Fixed camera in most videos.
- Interaction via email only. No webcam chats for members.
- Little behind the scenes content.
- Blog and forum already available in free section.
- Empty "archives" section. Maybe it's for webcam shows. |
Bottom Line: |
In my experience, it's not unusual among cam models to aspire to have a site of their own. As any solo site project (including those from porn stars), launch dates keep getting postponed for whatever reasons and, more often than not, the project is eventually abandoned. So, despite the content at this site is quite ordinary, the model deserves some praise for having ended up launching what seems mainly a personal project: still camera, very limited locations, solo or boy-girl with husband/boyfriend, etc.
Even though it's far from extraordinary, the site certainly will have some appeal to those interested in the model. The model is, in fact, selling individual videos at the site where she cams. Most likely, those are the same videos being offered here. I haven't checked the current price of her individual videos but, given the ludicrous prices models are charging for videos at that cam site, you'll certainly get a better deal joining her official site.
An also important downside for me was that, even though it's the official site of a model who makes live webcam shows on a daily basis, there were no plans to host shows for members of the site only. There was a webcam section that threw the same weird security errors that were being thrown at video streaming pages but, after asking the model directly about members-only cam shows, I came to the conclusion there were no plans to solve it. It's been 5 months since I was a member so things may have changed.
Good thing is they seemed to be actively working on the site. I saw some bugs being solved while I was a member even though I personally hadn't reported them. Checking the free section while finishing this review, I realized some of the cons I had noted back in the day are no longer so. For instance, when I was a member, I'm pretty sure there was no indication on which webcam site you could find the model doing live cam shows at. Now it's pretty clear in the free section. Maybe most members sign up after knowing about the model at the site where she cams but there are endless ways a user may stumble upon a pay site. I see they've also added a forum section, even though it's already available in the free section. |

Thanks. I guess I already said it in my review but this is the first Score site I've ever joined but I've added Scoreland to my list of sites to join in the future: it has a nice TBP discount and I believe it's the one with the most content.

Regarding the broken downloads, I believe I also experienced them: it's because they change the website's subdomain every time you login. So, when you restart your computer, the queued downloads are no longer valid and you have to add them again. The site is not very download-manager-friendly.
You're right regarding the current lack of video content but the site just launched. Looks like they started with lots of photo galleries and no videos and they have been adding videos once per week ever since. I don't think 1 video and 1 photo gallery is such a bad update rate for a solo model site, though.

Glad you liked the review. To each his own, though. Funny thing is I'm not a big fan of extremely huge boobs either and the usual body type of SCORE models has never done it for me but there was something with Christy Marks that prompted me to join and no complaints. The BGG scene with "major boobage" Janet Jade alone was well worth the price of admission.

Watermarks on the pictures I've checked are always on the top right corner. It's the same one they have on the videos. On large pics, the CHRISTY part is about 170x70px and it's an almost solid block because of the typeface; there's a 40px-high part below with "Marks.com" which has a much lighter typeface.
I usually don't mind watermarks but these might be somewhat obtrusive, specially on the portrait pictures : they have a long axis of only 1200px which I hadn't realised when I wrote my review.
As I said, I feel pictures are quite good. They are not taken while filming the video: model is always looking and striking poses at the photo camera.
