I didn't want to write another full review for this site as I tend to agree with what has been written by other members and the TBP review. I just want to add some facts*
* warning facts may not be actually factual, some are my opinion so reader discretion recommended :)
1. Download speeds are artificially restricted. A single file downloads at a maximum of 500kbps but multiple files or download managers can be used to increase that speed
2. Update schedule is all over the place. For 2011 they have been updating every week or so. Before that there would be a couple of updates, then regular updates, then nothing for months. Rinse and repeat.
3. The last 20 or so episodes are available in Full HD 1920x1080 but 5 of those are 3D duplicates of normal 2D scenes. So only ~15 HD scenes. Quality before that is way below average.
4. Half the scenes are filmed in south America, the other half in Russia. I generally don't find Latina women all that attractive so already half the content is in the bin.
I like the look of this site but fact that TBP lists the videos as being 640 x 480 MPG is really putting me off. I really dont think I can go back to watching low res 4:3 videos after being spoilt by super high def for so long. Can a current member confirm this is the case? Also can anyone tell me if the codec is mpeg-1 or mpeg-2?
I wanted to raise a few points that are either not covered by TBP or have drastically changed since the year old review.
Firstly in the review the download speed has been flagged as a major negative. For me the speeds are excellent, I can download at ~50 mbits/sec without even using a download manager. At those speeds I can download a HD scene in 3 minutes, that's pretty impressive.
The second point, which is not covered in the review and I feel is very important, is the content duplication. The big tag line when joining HDnewbies is 5 HD sites for the price of one. 4 of the sites, dpnewbies, deepthroatnewbies, swallownewbies and handjobnewbie each have approx 10 unique scenes each. The last site, hdnewbies, just repeats the same content from the other 4 sites. As this was not mentioned in the review I was expecting twice the content than was actually there. Yes the network does contain a bunch of other sites but its the lovely Russians featured in the HD sites that caused me to join up.
As there is a review and comment dating back to 2007 I find it a bit strange that the oldest update they have on the site is from 2009. Either they dumped all the old content, which I doubt, or someone is re-dating the updates. There is a lot of content on the site but I cant trust how recent or otherwise it was loaded.
I joined this site a couple of days ago and have had nothing but problems downloading the videos, I have yet to download a single complete file. The download will start fine and chug along at decent speeds (40 - 60 Mbits sec) and then after 100MB or so just stop. As the site does not support resuming incomplete downloads, I have no choice but to start again and have the exact same thing happen.
2 reviews with very high scores within the space of 24 hours, both first reviews by new users, both written in a simular style. Maybe I'm getting cynical in my old age but something smells a bit here...
UPDATE:
Still not sure what to think about the first review but larss has proved to be a sensible sort of chap and has updated his review making it far more credible.
So goodluck Miss H., it looks like you may have something good going on with this site. I may even join one day...
Even though the network contains 14 sites focussing on a range of niches such as anal, big tits, milfs and skinny girls only 4 of those sites have received any updates in the last 3 months. The updated sites Only Teen BlowJobs, 1000 Facials, MommyBlowsBest and Throated are all oral sex only sites. Good if that's what you like but if you want some variety in your network of porn then its best to join something else.
After no updates in years they seem to be updating again some of the best sites on the network. My old favs No Rest For The Ass and Dildo and Fisting have both received updates as well as a few others. I'm really pleased they have started again as they were, IMHO, the best at making hard nasty anal porn. Being cautious I dont think I will join just yet as the updates are few but maybe in a month or 2 if the updates keep coming I definitely will.
The TBP review mentions that download speeds are bad on this site but does not, I feel, give the whole picture. These tests are performed on a 1 Gbit connection:
- Downloading a single file the maximum speed I managed was 350 KB/s
- While you can use DownThemAll (and I'm sure other DL managers) the download is not split into multiple streams.
- BUT, you can download multiple files simultaneously. I managed to download 10 files at once (possibly more, I stopped at 10) for a combined download speed of ~30 MB/s.
Bottom line, if you are after more than 1 video you can max your connection by downloading multiple files at the same time.
There are a couple of other things in the TBP review that I take issue with, I will address those in a full review of my own once I have had a proper look at the site.
I think this site is officially the most fucked up thing I have seen. Take one teen, put her in a child's room and have her play with toys for a bit while loud horrible music plays in the background. Then get some guy dressed as A PANDA to come along and fuck said teen with a fake plastic dick before spraying fake cum all over her all the while making what I can only assume are panda noises. This is just wrong on so many levels.
The other couple of new sites from this company have crazy restrictions on downloads and only have streaming videos. While I did manage to download the streams from DirtyGardenGirl it was a pain and I dont fancy pissing another $30 up the wall in order to find this site too is still stuck in the stone age of digital content distribution. Does anyone know if videos are available for download?
With the last comments / reviews of this network being several months old, I decided to put on my optimists hat and give it a try in the hope that things have improved. Unfortunately, all of the problems mentioned before are ever present, with one additional issue that REALLY pisses me off.
Every time you want to download a video, yes every single time, a pop up box appears with this warning:
"This content is intended for personal and private use only.

I have been a member of countless porn sites over the years and never have I come across such intrusive anti piracy warnings. If it warned me the first time I downloaded a video, that's fine. Even if it warned me every time I logged in that would be fine. But every time I download a video? Screw that, membership cancelled, never will return.
My optimists hat has been removed and burnt, never to be used again. I am back to my cynical old self and networks like this prove why I have good reason to be so.
One of the things I used to really like about this network were the great quality photo sets that accompanied each video. Not only were they very high quality but also well lit and framed and obviously taken by someone who knows what they are doing. Unfortunately since the style of the scenes switched from colourful to arty farty, the quality of the photos has bombed. Most of the sets contain a few low quality candid shots and then 500 or so screen caps. The screen caps are totally pointless as I can see the same as in the video and the candid shots are awful and amateur. Please get the photographer back!
Again I found the network would not load but the issue is with the DNS records. The DNS servers for my office ISP, the ISP I use in my flat and the ISP in my girlfriends place all cannot resolve www.pornpros.com to their server IP addresses resulting in a server not found error when trying to view them. If you have problems like this I suggest using www.opendns.org for your DNS servers instead. I had been using opendns on another network for a while and find them to be very stable and fast, it's worth switching even if you dont have this specific issue.
I'm not sure who's fault this is but this is the first site that I have had this problem with and its been going on for a long while.
After a prolonged period when the site would not even load for me I was finally able to check out all of the new massive mammoried mama's added to freaks of boobs since I was last a member about 6 months ago. Well that ended badly when I found nothing new since September 2010.
Not dissuaded, I thought I would have a poke around some of the other sites. After all, the whole site could fall foul of whatever technical issues plagued it for all those months and I would not get another chance.
After a while I started to experience some confusion as many of the latest updates or even ALL of the content on brand new sites looked very familier to me. The confusion was soon replaced with a feeling that some something is rotten in the state of Denmark and it was not the crusty plastic cocks they seem so fond of.
For example, sites like flexible positions and deep throat love are posting content from 2008 as new. LOL Cumshots is just reposting the same old crap from other network sites but pretending to be a new speparate site. To make matters worse, they are not just fudging the dates on the updates like other naughty sites, they leave the old update on the site meaning that the numbers of videos a site has are artificially inflated.
I am glad the credit card I used for past subscriptions has expired. When they quite clearly have no qualms in tricking you at every turn I hate to think what they would be prepared to do to with your CC details.
Bottom line, they actually have some nice stuff. Freaks of boobs was one of my favourite sites and their photo sets are really nice. But I will not risk my the chance of being ripped of by this bunch of jokers so I wont be joining again even and I advise you all to do the same.
I wanted to check freaks of boobs for recent updates but for me the whole network is down. Is it just me? If so, would someone mind posting what the last update of freaks of boobs is?
So I just logged in to Brazzers expecting to grab the last few updates from Pornstars Punishment only to find it has disappeared from the sites list! Going via a bookmark to the scene list displays the site title as Pornstars Punishment but no scenes are displayed. Even stranger is if I go to PornstarsPunishment.com and click on the instant access button I get the cryptic message "THE SITE IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING TRAFFIC FROM THESE ADVERTISEMENTS". Please don't tell me that my favourite Brazzers site has died!! Anyone else seeing the same?
Although advertised as a BDSM style site, can anyone shed any light on how hard the content actually is? I mean is it the cartoon style BDSM like on disgraced18.com and milfhumiliation.com or the real thing?
I have seen a lot of very extreme stuff in porn, I even like the harder stuff, but never in all my ~20 years as a perv have I seen something quite like ProlapseParty.com. I am not judging it but seeing stuff like this on a mainstream pay site makes me wonder if anything is beyond the pale anymore?
Used to update at least twice a week but there have been no new updates in the last 3 weeks. Shame really, really cute model with a different look. Maybe she just went on holiday...
Although the tour pages have a extensive list of movies that it advertises as being downloadable, the reality is the movies available for download are rotated on a weekly basis. This means that only 5 movies are available at any one time and it could take months to download the complete collection. Avoid this one
Seeing exotics4me comment below prompted me to look up one of my old favs, FistingInAction.com, only to find it has disappeared from the web. I checked the sites included in a Tainster membership but this one is not is not there. I seem to remember that it used to be included, does anyone know if the FistingInAction.com content is still available via Tainster?
The front end sites of the whole network seems to be dead. This is only affecting the tour / join pages as far as I can see so if you are a current member you should be able to log in as normal. Obviously they wont be getting any new members until the get their act together...
A new site has been added, Defiled18.com, with a theme of harder BDSM but using the same young cute models! Only 10 scenes so far but looks interesting to say the least. Full review coming soon!
