messmer, is it only the new updates that are realeased as downloadable, or are the letting you download older HD releases from a few months ago as well? Thanks!
Yeah, I think most of us do, and I think if they are going to advertise having HD they should note somewhere on the join page that it is streaming only - for those of us that don't frequent PU.
Ah, perhaps that is why it is down. It all makes sense to me now, that updating music site message totally confused me...
I think the mp4 files are decent quality, but they don't look great full screen. I mainly put that in the review so people knew if they joined, they weren't getting the best quality video.

Pros:
-Vast amount of content
-Regular updates on most of the main sites
-Download managers work, I tried DTA and GetRight
-Decent download speeds, I averaged about 800 KB/sec
-Good price for the amount of content you get
-Excellent variety, pretty much everything is here except hard fetishes
-No DRM
-Zip Downloads of photosets
-MP4 and WMV video quality were good, but not great, both at 768x432 1500 kbps. I thought the MP4 looked better, but neither were super crisp at full screen.
-In-browser video player is pretty good, can seek easily without excessive buffering.
Cons:
-I find there to be a few too many ads, ads when you login, pop-ups
-Website can be glitchy, In The VIP has been disabled for video downloads for almost a week.
-Older content often in three parts still
-Navigation could use some improvement, sorting is a bit odd.
-A bit heavy on the large breasted women for my tastes, but there is plenty for anyone
-They advertise it as HD, but this is only available in streaming format. I would say the streamed HD content is mediocre as far as HD material I have seen (not sure how to check the specs on this).
Bottom Line:
I think this site is pretty excellent, although to me not quite the best out there - as they advertise. There is a wide variety of content, although the primary focus of most of the sites is hardcore material of some sort. If you are looking for solo material, this isn't the place to look.
I do enjoy that the site has model interviews, and other such activities instead of jumping straight to the action. I see this type of thing as a positive, I suppose others might not like this, or consider it a waste of HD space and download time.
To me this site appears to be another site that is focussing a bit too much on quantity over quality. Compared to the last time I was a full-access member here a couple of years ago, I found that a lot of their newer content was not up to the quality standards of previous years.
The other main drawbacks to this site are the sites general practices. Advertising on the homepage that video is in HD, but not allowing people to download said video is a bit iffy in my opinion. Also, excessive advertising, and pop-ups are a bit much. I often get a popup to that fling.com place when I go straight to the member page.
All in all, a pretty decent site if you are into hardcore material. If you are looking for downloadable HD content or solo material I would probably look elsewhere. If the site could improve the quality of some of the recent material as well as improve some of the navigation/site issues, it could in fact be the best porn site on the net.
Go to any InTheVip scene, I get the system message when I go to those. I guess they are adding a new video, but I have gotten that same message since last night.
Although the site does seem to be running faster now.
Has this site been very slow loading for anyone else lately? Some scenes pop up with a system message about videos not being available since they are updating music. What music?
Just wondering, do they still have the somewhat annoying camerapeople/male performers? That was the one major drawbacks I found with some of their sites last time I joined. Hopefully their navigation has also improved, the idle logout time was surprisingly short if I recall.
I suppose I will have to put this site back on the queue at some point.
I had actually never been a member before this, and I agree it is pretty disappointing. I never realized it was very well respected, from the comments and reviews here I just figured it wasn't very good to begin with.

Pros:
-Attractive ladies
-Decent photo quality
-Good video quality (technically speaking 3Mbit wmv is largest size available)
-Zip downloads of photosets
-Download managers work
-Good download speeds (maxed my 20 Mbit connection) with DL manager
-Okay sized site, 114 models on "Studios" site, maybe 3 photosets and 1 video on average per model
-6 sites, although only one appears active - Studios, and I am not sure how active it is
-Camerwork in photos is pretty good for the most part
-Navigation is okay, pretty straightforward. No search function but there is a model index
Cons:
-Photosets are small in quantity
-Camerwork in videos is pretty bad
-The guy is just annoying in the video, hey just sounds like a slimeball, and will not shut up.
-Videos are generally pretty boring, behind the scenes type stuff often. Not very erotic in my opinion - regardless of what Playboy says.
-Videos are short
-No real bonus content
-Update schedule is unknown, but I don't think it is frequent, nothing looks new since I was here two weeks ago
Bottom Line:
I think this site is an okay softcore-midcore site (toys and some lesbian), and it definitely has some attractive ladies. Although, I think it has far too many detractions to be worth recommending. There are plenty of other sites that offer more content and better quality.
If you are a video person, this place is certainly not for you. The videos are frequently poorly shot, some are interviews or behind the scenes, and the large majority that I downloaded featured some slimeball (I assume Ron Harris) making stupid comments for pretty much the entire video. There is one with Kara Duhe that is just generally uncomfortable, it reminded me of some dirty old uncle gawking at a young lady (not that there is anything wrong with being a dirty old uncle, I just don't need to hear it in my porn).
While the camerawork in the still photography may be good, the camerawork in the videos is the exact opposite (humorous since they have a link for lessons at the bottom of the page, perhaps he should sign up himself?) So if you are a fan of particular ladies you see in the preview and like short photosets, this might be okay for you, otherwise I'd look elsewhere.
I was just poking around this site and it mentions the bit rate for the aerobcise videos? Wikipedia says Ron Harris produced aerobics videos for Showtime. These are just regular aerobics videos right? Seems kind of odd that he'd have them available for download if that were the case...
Curious, I never had any problems downloading from any of this company's sites. Perhaps the files were so big your connection timed out after a while, I dunno. Partial WMV downloads sometimes work for me...
Hey man, interesting review. I actually kind of liked some of the material on this site, probably just cause I thought the Flora model was cute. I agree the site navigation is poor, but it is consitent with all of the network sites. And the site is small. But I think it was kind of nice to have a somewhat "lighter" BDSM site, instead of the crazy rought stuff you often see - or at least in the scenes I downloaded. Also, in my experience scenes from sites in this niche often run quite long.

Pros:
-attractive, mostly euro ladies
-excellent sized collection 2870 total sets (1114 of which are videos) at time of review
-zip downloads of photosets
-download managers work (DTA)
-good price through TBP
-OK download speeds, 500 KB/sec to Western US
-No DRM
-Video quality is decent, I mostly downloaded the 2000 kbps WMV, but newer videos also have a 4000 kbps mp4 which was better, but I didn't find it to be enough of an improvement to warrant the extra HD space.
-Good camerawork
Cons:
-Listed as HD, but not the crispest you will find these days if you are stickler for these things.
-I personally am not a fan of ass-licking, and there was a surprising amount of this on the site.
-Most scenes have no real setup, just business
-No real bonus content
-Not a very wide variety of model types (body types, ethnicities)
Bottom Line:
Overall, I think this is an excellent lesbian site, defintitely worth joining if you are into this type of material with euro ladies. The majority of which are of the younger/thinner variety.
The site design is pretty bland, but it gets the job done I suppose. There is a model index and a scene rating system, although that is about it. There are more adds than I would like to see, but not too bad. I like that they apparently went back and re-encoded some older material, or at least it looks better than the copies of it I had from before.
I should note that I found their content was frequently pretty "hard" lesbian material, a good amount of toys, fisting, anal play, strap-ons etc.
I think this site is definitely worth joining if you are into attractive euro ladies playing around with each other, while the site does have a few flaws, and the material can get a bit repetitive, the model quality for the most part is quite good and the price is great.
