Do you mean there are no downloads at all PinkPanther, or no downloads of newer videos? When I was a member practically everything was downloadable, most of the newer stuff downloadable in HD. It'd be a shame if they got rid of that feature...
I had the same problem when I was a member. Usually it was better during certain times of the day, I think they just don't have the bandwidth to meet demand.

Pros:
-Great price with the PU discount
-No DRM
-Download managers work
-Newer videos are full HD, 1280x720 3000 kbps was the best of what I downloaded. Pretty crisp even though the bitrate is kind of low for HD
-Most videos are "DVD resolution" 640x480 1500 kbps, pretty crisp even at this resolution although the older the material the worse it gets.
-Scenes for the most part have a story, this is a plus for me, some might find it a negative since often only 50% of the scene involves sex.
-Can download DVD in full for most movies
-Pretty decent sized collection, over 400 DVDs and 3000 photosets (although some of the photsets I looked at were empty)
-Photo quality is okay, most is 600x900
-zip downloads of the photosets
Cons:
-Inconsitent download speads, rarely faster than 600 kb/sec
-Site can be slow to load
-Odd navigation
-A bit too focussed on large breasted women for my tastes, but there is a reasonable variety
-Some videos not downloadable, although I would say most I tried were
-Behind the scenes stuff is streaming only
-While they have a lot of stars, the vast majority only have a couple of scenes with a select few having 10 or more scenes.
-mp4 is the only available download format
-Not much in the way of photos (even though they have 3000 sets), many girls don't have any listed and most are the same scenes as the videos
-Infrequent updates, only about 1 DVD a week and a couple of photo sets a week since I've been a member
Bottom Line:
While one might think my score is a bit high given all the cons, I think for the PU discount price, this site is definitely worth joining. It surely has its share of problems, but clearly it is a work in progress - and actually a lot better than I thought it would be given the other reviews I read here.
The site certainly has navigation issues. There is a search function available, but it is just a text search. Browsing by model can get a bit frustrating, as the model page loads a streaming movie of the most recent video by that model at the top, and loads all the DVDs, Movies, Galleries, and Promotional shoots available at the bottom, but you have to click through this list which can get annoying if the star has a ton of available content (like Kaylani Lei). One other nuisance is sometimes if you go straight to a scene no download option is available, but there is one at the page for that DVD - unfortunately the DVD download tab just lists the downloadable scenes by number so you have to remember which scene you are downloading.
One good part of the nagivation is that every scene lists a good bit of information tagged to each scene: who is in it, what action is involved, costume, positions, type of tits (natural/fake), location, body details (tats, piercings, shaved, etc.) and cumshot location. Most of these tags are clickable, however when you click them it just brings up a list of all the DVDs (not scenes) that have this tag, so clicking "natural" tits is pretty useless. Interesting concept though, if implemented a little better it could be very useful.
I didn't have any experience with customer service, so can't comment on that, the biller was CCBill for me.
Overall I'd say this site is pretty good, especially if you are a fan of any of the Wicked girls, as there is a good bit of content for all of them, the main reason I joined was price and their vast collection of Kaylani Lei videos - and the price. I found the vast majority of the content on their site to be downloadable, and not streaming only - although I am not sure how much of their archive is actually on the site. The oldest movie I saw was from 1991 (Maddams Family) and it was downloadable - although I didn't download it, so I can't comment on quality. There are 436 DVDs listed on the site at the time of this review.
Even though the site has its flaws, and far too many fake breasts, I'd still say it is worth joining for a month. I'm sure almost any user could find some content they liked that would make it worth the small price to join. However, due to the infrequent updates, I doubt it is worth being a member for more than a month.
For $10, I figured what the hell. Unlike what others have said, I have found most of their content is downloadable, however I am not sure how much of the archive is on their site.
Download times and page load times are aweful slow, however.
I totally agree with you, I really enjoy Wicked content, although the site itself (navigation, etc) wasn't all that great the last time I was there, and their preview blows. But still, one of the few sites I join yearly.
Nice review dracken, I totally agree with your feelings on the HC scenes that feature pierre (I find them to be very subpar), although he does have some non-tripod stuff (with other men) which is pretty well shot. He definitely gets some of the hottest euro ladies around. I'm not sure why wake up and fuck isn't a part of this site, it is tiny, and overall pretty worthless as a standalone.
Yeah, six months would be an aweful long time to hold onto a membership to his site given the price. He does update his normal site pretty regularly, but still that is a bit much.
As this site won't be listed as an individual site here, figured I would just post my thoughts on it here since it is a woodman site.
+girls are attractive
+HD video quality is pretty good
+support is responsive
+good forum (same as casting)
+multiple video download options
-very expensive for what you get, only like 33 scenes as of now
-updates seem sort of random, and pierre is a pretty big tease on the forum
-most scenes self-shot similar to casting
-SD quality is very poor, so you pretty much need to get HD and these files are huge (3-5 GB)
-Download speeds have been subpar 100 KB/s - 200 KB/s, this coupled with the large file sizes is a bit irritating
-Not sure why this isn't just a free bonus to the casting site given how small it is.
-most material is self-shot, so camerawork can get iffy
-no photos
I would give this site a 70, some of the content is good and the girls are attractive, but it is small, downloads are annoying (slow, timeouts, etc). I'm not sure where they came up with the price for a site this sized. And while I like the content, it is hard to get at, and far too small for the price given what else is out there. Even though the individual scene prices are steep, I probably would have been much better off going that route, as I will probably only keep 3...
yeah looking back at my review it does seem a bit negative given the score, I was mainly trying to point out all the flaws, as this place certainly has its problems.
I did enjoy the site, there were just many scenes where after it downloaded I looked at it and was like, what the fuck is this? I guess I am just willing to overlook the bad for the good in this case...
Hey man, a site like this is kind of difficult to review. On one hand they have some excellent content, but then there are other scenes that are pretty big "misses". I am personally a fan of castings with interviews and stuff before the model gets naked, so that is probably why I scored the site so high even though the content is pretty variable. He definitely gets some attractive models, it is just too bad that a lot of the hardcore castings are single-camera on a tripod type deals, although that it pretty much what I expected.

Pros:
-Many attractive mostly euro young ladies
-Good sized site: 356 hardcore scenes (plus an additional 103 "beahind the scenes" hardcore sets), 1160 total castings.
-Good forum, webmaster is actually pretty active and answers questions from users
-newer movie quality is good from a technical standpoint - 1280x720 2500 kbps was the best I saw
-zip downloads of photosets, although there aren't a ton of photos
-download managers work
-no DRM
Cons:
-large watermark on videos
-expensive
-no bonus content aside from access to some of the casting DVDs
-download speeds are inconsistent, best I got was 500 KB/sec
-some models don't get naked for very long, a few don't get naked at all
-poor navigation, although I am not sure how it could be easily improved on a site like this
-photo quality is mediocre, and only about 10% of the castings have photosets
-uses a biller I am not familiar with
-some content is available elsewhere
Bottom Line:
Overall this site is pretty good and I'd recommend joining if you are a fan of casting syle videos. However, bear in mind that a lot of these videos are 90% chit-chat, 10% nudity. Some of them have sex in the casting, but the camerawork in these is pretty poor (single camera on a tripod).
His update schedule seems pretty regular, although I am not sure how long he holds onto some of these scenes before releasing them. He has a recent update of an Evelyn/Faith scene, that I would assume is several years old - although can't be sure.
The forum is quite interesting, and I believe you can access it for free. It is often curious what he says about a given model - although the forum is bilingual, with some comments in french and some in english. Either way, rare interaction you don't really see from most sites.
Overall I think this site is pretty good, Woodman definitely has a talent for getting very attractive ladies to take their clothes off - and for some to do hardcore. However, if you are not a fan of casting style videos, or are searching for particularly erotic scenes, this probably isn't the site for you.
Why does he do castings with girls on their period? Am I the only one that finds it a bit of a turn off for the girl to strip down and he immediatly zooms in on the tampon string? Maybe its just me, but a bit disturbing...
Pretty much agree with dracken's review, however, interesting site, certainly has its share of flaws, but pretty good.
Just wondering if any recent members had any updates on this site? I've been thinking about joining for a while, but their biller makes me nervous, never heard of them before.
Also, from poking through the site it looks like some (a lot?) of the material is available elsewhere, I know Hustler has a bunch, and some others looked familiar but couldn't place them.
Also, the forum for some of the girls people ask why the girl didn't even get naked, how common is this?
Sorry for the very slow response, haven't logged in here in quite a while.
There are a bunch of these sites that have similar content - allfinegirls (used to be 18only, changed their name) and wowgirls/porn, but they typically don't actually have overlapping content (just same girls), sometimes the photoset will be on one site and the video on the other, but they seem to have gotten better about that. They also apparently have a new site, ultrafilms which looks very similar in general to the other two.
Some of the content is also not unique to the site, you can find some of it on the typical euro sites.
Just thought I would point out for anyone curious, if you get the $3 trial to Wow through a membership with AllFineGirls, that trial is full access (unlimited DL, I assume you had to have the DL option for AllFineGirls). You can cancel both immediately upon joining so you don't forget.
Also, there is a backout discount, so make sure to try leaving the signup page to see if they give you a better offer.

Pros:
- Plenty of very attractive women
- Good variety of content, hardcore, softcore, lesbian, some group
- Access to sister site WowPorn
- Camerawork is generally good
- Lighting and makeup are both generally good
- Download speeds are very good, I was getting 6-8 MB/s most of the time, more or less maxing my internet connection
- Video quality is excellent, even in the smaller videos, their 720p videos look better than some 1080p scenes I have.
- 4k videos are available for some sets, they look great, but I didn't keep any of them due to space issues (4GB for one scene is just too big for my budget)
- Respectable biller, no major suspect practices (nice after my experience with BangBros)
- Pretty large site, but certainly not as large as some of the big networks. ~4000 total sets (photos and videos) on WowGirls, and 2600 on WowPorn.
- Navigation is pretty good, but can be somewhat annoying (see cons)
Cons:
- Not a very diverse site, the model type is typically the same (white, athletic, thin). There are some Asian models, but not a site to go to for diversity.
- Relatively expensive compared to many other sites (when accounting for discounts), although I will say the good:bad ratio on this site is much higher in my opinion than most of the bigger sites.
- I am not sure why there are two sites (Porn/Girls), I don't really see how it serves a purpose, it just makes navigation more annoying
- I feel like they should just merge it with AllFineGirls, they show all the content on the site, and it isn't really like there is some distinction between AllFine and Wow, they have mostly the same models, same style, same variety
- Some content appears not to be original
Bottom Line:
My main concern is that I feel they should just go ahead and merge this site with AllFineGirls. I understand the idea of trying to upsell someone to a diamond membership (at least they ask before signing you uh, ahem, BangBros) to make a little extra money (for some reason the Diamond membership is way more expensive than if you joined the site on your own), but the sites are just so similar, I don't see why they should exist as separate entities.
Also, the site is somewhat expensive these days as compared to it's contemporaries when considering discounts. It would be nice if they brought a discount back for the PU folks, I know they used to do it from time to time.
My bottom line: good, bordering on excellent site, acceptable navigation, attractive ladies, wish it was a little cheaper and more diverse, but certainly worth joining if you haven't been here before.
Once again, thanks for the info lk2, it may be that they are being lazy with the preview page on Wow Porn, but as a few examples they have posted (these all had the same setting, model, outfits, and scene name as ones I downloaded last year from Wow Girls):
Anjelica "Save Me"
Momoko "Tight Snatch Hunter"
Angela Pamona "Dream of any straight man"
Bianca "Toys are fun"
Luiza Pamona "lovely threesome"
These are just a few I noticed, perhaps it was just stuff they put in to get the site going or their preview page is wrong, I can't really tell if the newer stuff overlaps (not trying to be combative, was mainly just curious if Wow Porn really added much value).
Odd since several of the preview pictures are of scenes I am almost certain I already have, perhaps it is just edited differently ala DDF or just so happens to be same model/furniture/location.
Thanks for the info lk2, I just meant from looking at the previews of the site a lot of the content on Wow Porn looked like content that was already on Wow Girls.
I agree it is a very good site. Any opinions on Wow Porn, seems to mostly just be mostly the b/g type material right from Wow Girls? Perhaps just cause it is a new site...
I agree it is somewhat of a heartcore site, but I think the best example of that genre would be X-Art, at least in my opinion. This site still has some typical euro porn elements, but I would still clasify it as heartcore, just not the prototypical heartcore site.
Either way, I don't think it is a site you would enjoy, being well aware of what you are looking for in a site.
