Ouch! $39 a month seems a bit excessive, but maybe not if you're a fan of this niche.

I bought Internet Download Manager when Free Download Manger stopped working. I find IDM stable and fast but the one drawback it has when compared to FDM is that IDM takes a longer time to stitch together all the bits of the file it downloaded.

You're making me blush, sir! Thanks for the kind comments. And this is definitely one of the more unusual sites that I've ever joined. But I was compelled to just to get a scene from one lass I rather like.

xtb500's Review
I was a member there until just a week ago and was a bit surprised to read some of the problems you wrote about in your review.
When I reviewed the site I did note that a lot of the videos are 1920x1080, and they are. But when I went digging around in the site it appears that I missed something. It looks like that back in June 2013 the site stopped uploading the 1920 videos and went with a lower 1280 resolution. In terms of numbers though, I downloaded about 280 scenes and of those 235 were in 1920 resolution and only 32 were in 1280. You wrote that you’ve only downloaded around 20 scenes, so if you’re working your way back into the catalogue you wouldn’t have hit the 1920 scenes yet. Try going back to the “Veronica” scene that was uploaded on June 7 and I think you’ll find that’s around when they stopped uploading the 1920.
I don’t know what to say about the download speeds you experienced because I didn’t experience that at all. My download manager is maxed out at 11MB/s and that’s what I saw consistently.
As for the music, I’ve watched 40 to 50 of the scenes and never noticed it at all. I checked again and it is there, but it’s pretty faint in the few scenes where I listened for it. Maybe in some of the newer scenes that you have they’ve turned up the volume on that. If so, I’m with you: loud background music is a mood killer.
I also agree that the models faces can be washed out with too much lighting on the close ups. That doesn’t happen in every scene, but it does detract when it is there.
I can’t dispute some of your other concerns because we just have different opinions. I don’t consider the male talent to be below standard, but then the only thing I look for in male talent is the understanding that their job is to show off the female. To me, male talent is part of the set. On that measure, the guys here pass the test. The stroking is annoying, but it’s so common in porn that I’ve just learned to accept it. I wish I didn’t, and you obviously feel that way too.
I think everyone agrees that the scenes are repetitive. There is a strict formula and it gets followed in 95% of the scenes. That’s something else I’ve learned to live with in porn. I like massage and BDSM sites and they’re pretty repetitive too. I deal with that by avoiding watching a bunch in a row.
Finally, as for the lack of amateur talent, most of these women have done a few other scenes, but mot many, so I’m okay with that. The few big-name porn stars that appear at the peak of their career are listed as such so the site isn’t trying to pull a fast one. Most of the other stars who appear here look to be very early in their careers. I find that a positive to get an early scene of a girl I like.
I’m glad you added your review to give another side to some of the glowing reviews. No one will ever complain about having too much information before deciding to buy a membership.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my review. 'Value' and 'heat' are two things that are so subjective that they really can't be quantified. I respect that your opinion on value is different from mine. I think the value of having both of those opinions here is that someone else can join or not join based on some different interpretations.
On 'heat,' there is no difference of opinion: these are some incredible scenes, and like you, I'm impressed with the volume of anal scenes.
Check out Teen Mega World if you haven't already. They have many of the same models and also offer a discount if you link through here.

For me it really varies. I usually aim for a broad niche of 18-20 year olds, especially if the site offers a lot of anal. But I'll also buy memberships to more specific sites too. Sometimes I'll even buy a membership to a site I really have little interest in just to get a scene from a model I like.
So in other words, I'm pretty promiscuous with my porn dollars.

They definitely do have some top-notch stuff. It's too bad that they just seem to be keeping the lights on and not really growing the site.

100% agree. I'm a huge fan of their stuff and join their sites regularly. My advice to anyone joining is to keep your confirmation email because it will tell you which of the sites you need to go to to cancel. That's important because there are several and getting it wrong might cost you a recurring charge.

Jeez, you've managed to say in a few words what took me many! I really am glad I joined and I don't regret it, but I doubt that I'll be back.
The price really can't be justified when you compare it to other sites.

I can't imagine that I'd ever encounter a scene that I wanted that I thought was too big a download. I've downloaded scenes that exceeded 5GB, though those are rare. With a fast internet connection and harddrive space being so cheap, I don't see any real limits. All that might change if my ISP ever imposes bandwidth caps.
Having said all of the above, I had gone through a phase where I downloaded the best available, which was often 1080p. I've since rethought that and now download 720p because for 95% of my viewing the additional resolution makes no difference.

I probably should have chosen my words more carefully... Those may have come from my recollection that there was a lot of solo stuff on the site, which I really don't find hot.
I've reviewed the site before and scored it at a 92 and in my written comments I've strongly encouraged others to join. And I likely will again myself. "Heat" is obviously not quantifiable. It's a purely subjective measure and I probably shouldn't have used that term. It's probably like a car reviewer who reviews a car that isn't exactly what he's looking in for a car but is still willing to admit that it's a damn good car.
I hadn't been aware that you had spun off the hardcore stuff into a separate site. Solo stuff generally isn't anything I'm interested in so having just hardcore sounds like a great idea.
I also wasn't aware that you had a new site for casting videos. I'm a big fan of those because the interaction between the model and the agent can really turn up that (subjective) heat. I suspect I'll be joining that within days.

Excellent review. I know I've scored Nubiles a lot higher, but on subsequent visits I found that it just lacked some heat. I think your comment on the site trying to be jack of all trades and master of none is right.

Thanks for the comments.
I doubt that anyone has ever joined a site I've reviewed only to find out that it is far more extreme than they prefer. I'm sure most people do more research than reading just one review. But I can imagine that some members here who prefer glamcore definitely wouldn't like a site like this.
And I definitely disagree with one thing you said: I think that an apple in Roxy's ass provides a lot of excitement! :-)

It's other for me, mostly because I have never stopped watching a model I like just because of some change. I have stopped downloading a model's stuff after a change, but not often. I might get more selective, but after a change I usually don't disown a model.
The biggest factor pushing this for me is body modification. This is usually fake breasts or pumped-up lips. Aubrey Addams was one of my favorite models before she became enhanced, and I have to admit that while I prefer her without the add-ons I still like her afterwards because they still fit her body size and type. Amy Brooke went a bit too big in my opinion, but I still download most of what she has. Perhaps the most extreme for a model I really liked to one that I pretty much stopped downloading was Bridgette Kerkove. When she was new and had he little A-cups she was in my top-5 list. Her breasts and facial alterations changed that look completely and I downloaded very little of her stuff after that.

Thanks for reviewing this pat. I didn't know that this had been spun off as a separate studio site. I like Harmony's stuff and have a lot of it, but I'd like to get it in higher resolution. The TBP stats say that the files are 1920x1080 but the other reviewers say that 1080 is the highest and most are 720 even if they're labelled as 1080. I'm particularly interested in the early titles in the [i]Slam It series and the [/i]Young Harlots series. Any advice will be appreciated.

EverNight's Review
This is an excellent review of what is probably one of the most popular sites here at PU. I was a member there for five years straight and then dropped that in favour of going back two or three times a year to get some updates but I think the last time I joined was the last time I'll ever join. As you point out, the video quality is far below standard for 2014. It was sufficient back in 2008, but definitely not now.
My current view is that they need to change their business model and focus more on quality rather than quantity. The last time I joined I found I could go days without finding something that I liked. And their over-reliance of compilations bugged me too. They really need to drop the five uploads a day and make it one high-quality one. And they need better file resolutions.
The other thing I noticed is that they've stopped the practice of allowing prospective members to see everything before joining. I have no idea why they changed that since it now seems like they're hiding something.
Having ranted all of that, I'd still recommend this site for someone who is tired of tube sites and wants a good value.
Sorry for the bit of a rant...!

Great review.
I like studio sites, though they're often poorly done. Vivid was obviously a powerhouse in the porn business for years but until you posted the review I had pretty much forgotten about them. Thanks for bringing them back to life for me.
What will be a deal-breaker is the streaming only status of the site. While you found a work-around for downloads, the fact that the site doesn't support them means they won't get me as a member. It bugs me that in an attempt to curtail privacy some sites choose to penalize paying customers like us.

I 'consider' it, as long as you define consider as doing some research. I rely heavily, and in a lot of cases, entirely, on the information at TBP and PU. I'd like to say that TBP/PU have saved me money but they haven't. They've saved me from wasting money certainly, but now that I have so much more confidence when joining a site my porn budget has increased significantly.

I agree. I make sure to save the confirmation email because they have three or four billing sites, and of course you have to provide a lot of information and a capcha to cancel. I think they purposely make it hard to cancel.
