Yeah, I made sure that I won't be renewing next month. If, at some point in the future, they make me feel that I've been missing a lot, I can always re-join.

Are you using VB3 - the new version or the "old site" as they call it? There's a pornstar list on the old site, but my comment was specifically referring to VB3, which is what they encourage everyone to use and which does not have a pornstar list.

Videobox has, unfortunately, gone the 21st Sextury route - you need to do a research paper to figure out the best deal to join and how to get what you want for the right place, especially when Kink.com has been doing very aggressive promotions of their sites, as has Evil Angel and Reality Kings. Vivid, well, are they even really still alive?

Best of all, the drought seems to have ended. From December into January, the updates at Videobox were the worst I've seen since I've been a member - just dismal. They've really picked up lately, for my tastes.

Yeah - unfortunately, the slump in quality really hit after my present membership renewed. If it had been 2-3 weeks earlier, I wouldn't have renewed until the quality of updates improved substantially - and I agree about the Premium sites being part of the slump.

With the new interface, VB has made the same error that Naughty America made. Naughty America put all that energy into yapping about the members being Naughty Americans and electing a President of Naughty America - paying him a bunch of money, putting him up in a nice condo, etc - going on about the Naughty America community, blah, blah blah - and who could give a flying fuck?
VB's former interface was service-able - could have stood some improvements that were meaningful to members that just cared about the product. Instead, they went for some "community" idea, where the whole thing is members having profiles they spend a bunch of time on and which members are going to be their friends, blah blah blah - and who could give a flying fuck?
Meanwhile - the presentation of the material that we're paying for sucks! Click on any DVD cover and it looks like shit. The previews look like shit. Click on your channels and the information is wrong. So it's just garbage.

The questions are:
1) Is Vivid any value to you at all?
2) What's the quality that you're looking for?
3) What Evil Angel directors are you most interested in?
If you're looking for the highest quality, then the quality of Evil Angel vids at Videobox is higher than the quality of the vids at EvilAngel.com.
Another option is the network centered around Buttman.com, which has very high quality vids available - they claim HD - and a significant amount of web-only material. They also have fucking hideous navigation, so finding the web-only material is a chore and a half.
If you're looking for Rocco's stuff - and Rocco's new work is excellent - you are only going to find that at EvilAngel.com.

This site's been working just fine for me - no notice-able problems at all.

Megan Mallone's Vivid scenes directed by B Skow are some of the best POV stuff I've seen anywhere - surprisingly good.
Lots of great stuff on the Evil Angel Premium Channel including awesome Jay Sinn material.

I just think it was good Customer Service. I don't know what they would have pangs of conscience about. The original deal was one that I agreed to, have never had reasons to regret. The fact that they changed their pricing model is not anything unique to this site - lots of others have done similarly.
The new deal makes me happy, so there we go.

I asked Videobox if the new both-premium-sites-for-one-price deal was going to be extended to existing members, received an answer that was basically - "here's our FAQ's, sucker", which I interpret as "No"

There is an ebb and flow to the quality of updates to Videobox.
There were years when I was looking at high ratings for this site and checking the updates and thinking - Meh - I can easily skip this!
At a certain point, there was a lot of archived material that was of interest to me plus a lot of recent updates that were of interest to me and I joined. At a point when I felt that they were providing enough of interest to make worth my while, I joined long-term.
They're in rather a fallow period for updates these days, for my tastes, so I'll be keeping my eye out for when my subscription runs out and seeing whether I want to re-up or let them buid up an archive that I'm interest in again.

And emulating that would make Videobox better?
Uh, no thanks!

Funny, when I take a look at American Vice's recent updates, I'm seeing anal, anal, dp, anal, anal, fat girls, anal, inter-racial, anal, anal, Asian, anal - lol
What am I missing that they have that's unique?

It's what their members want - or at least the vocal ones - whenever there's a scene that doesn't include anal, there's always very highly rated comments complaining about that.

OK - so you can upgrade a few ways - when you join, you can choose premium channels - and they'll make very clear what the costs are. If you're looking at a scene in a Premium channel and click "Download", there will be a pop-up that will explain exactly what the costs are and you have the option to close the pop-up or to click through to the upgrade with the costs as specified, or you can click on "Upgrade Now" banner in a premium channel and you will get a pop-up describing what the costs are - and again you can choose to click through to upgrade or close that pop-up.
In every scenario, I believe that they're doing a good job of spelling out the costs with little risk of charges that catch a member by surprise.

I joined the EA upgrade and I thought that VB did a good job at making it clear exactly what I was doing when I did it. I believe that it would be difficult for a non-upgrade VB member to be sucked un-knowingly into an upgrade with their current set-up.

I'm afraid that I've never downloaded anything in standard to compare - since I move my files to DVD, I get the largest ones that I can, figuring that they are the best available quality - I'm happy with the quality that I get from VB

That's a lot better than 88 kb/sec - glad it worked for you, Messmer

As I say, with this DownThemAll plug-in to Firefox, it's pretty straightforward, just like saving any file. You right click on a scene that you want to save, below the usual options such as "Save link as", you'll see an option to "Save Link with DownThemAll!", you choose that option, a "DownThemAll!" window will open, which is also very straight-forward. It has a clear place where it says "Save files in" so that you can direct the file exactly where you want it to be. You click "Start" and it starts and displays a nice window so that you can see the progress - at the bottom it shows the speed at that moment, next to the file itself it shows you the average speed - because I may get speeds of 2.02mb/sec for a moment or two, but my average download speed is 515.2kb/sec.
Repeat as you go. If I'm too much of a tech-moron to answer your question correctly here, I would recommend the forum.
Good luck - I hope it solves your problem - there's too much good stuff on Videobox to suffer with 88 kb/sec downloads.

Have you tried using a download manager? The web-master from DDF recommended "DownThemAll", which is a plug-in to Firefox, so it works right from your browser - you right click to download and using DownThemAll is an immediate option - the simplicity is great for a tech-moron like myself.
I get speeds of 515 kb/sec from Videobox and virtually every other site I've used this download manager with any hour of the day or night.

Yeah, it was back online this morning - It was weird - I was downloading a vid when it just stopped like the server went down and when I tried to leave the site and go back in, it was unavailable. Oh, well - shit happens

Since the webmaster at DDF recommended using the DownThemAll! plug-in to firefox, my perspective is "Slow downloads - what are they?" If I'm having a slow download, I use DownThemAll! through the firefox browser and I'm getting downloads once again at 515 kb/sec - which is my current speed right at this second from Videobox - I'm happy.

Better than Evil Angel's own site - with them posting lots of web-only stuff on some sites and HD stuff on Buttman - I don't know about that, but I'm hot enough for their stuff that I am enjoying having access to both.
