Clyde, facials suck!!! There is just too many of them!!! The entire world of porn is 90% FUCKING FACIALS!!! >:( U go 2 amateur websites and they also have that Shit goin' on!!! I mean it's so bad... There R millions of scenes, MILLIONS... where the guy is literally wacking his meat until he comes on her face... IT LIKE PUSSY DOESN'T EVEN MAKE HIM NUT ANYMORE!!! >:O U hardly ever find a scene where a guy is dumping his whole sack all over a woman's asscheeks just as soon as he pulls out!!! Those are delicacies... THOSE R LIKE FINDING RARE DIAMONDS!!! :D :D
This is one of my favorite sites too, navigation aside. Their videos, including older standard definition, still look great, as well as the newer photos.
I do wish they would redesign some things though. Personally, I am not a big fan of everything being included in a single photoset (outtakes, goofs, etc.). I understand that this makes it much easier to download content, but it also just adds a lot of junk to downloads.
For example, their newest photoshoot releases are quite large, but it ends of being a lot of sloooow stripping and unnecessary shots with the male assistants in the frame. I like seeing just the model, not the dudes sweatin' between her legs with the camera and lights.
On the other hand, going through their older material (say pre-2000), and there is not enough content. Most of their earlier models are just as attractive as their current talent, but they have not released many of their photos or videos to prove it.
It just shows that there are difference in what we PUs seek in a site - and nothing wrong with that...
They main thing for me here is that I think it's disapointing that there's hardly any full body scenes of these great looking girls/models....
Speed was as fast as any site, good content, cheap long term membership and no limits from what I could gather are all good, but the files I downloaded did not look as good quality as videobox. They seemed a litle more blurry IMO.
This is not a slant on the site, with only a few tokens I could have downloaded some of the worst ones and it was before the MP4 format was introduced.
Anyway, I like Divx avi format better than H.264 MP4. That format would put me off the site. Even the likes of Brazzers and videosz have had that MP4 format for ages and members still prefered to download brazzers wmv and videosz divx formats instead according to site polls.
The comment about file sizes is very astute. I've seen other sites (or reviewers of these sites) boasting of files encoded at huge bit rates.
It's tempting to just "throw bit rate" around unnecessarily. But that's not only naive, but it imposes huge file sizes on the users. I often wonder if this is done intentionally to discourage downloads. Who the hell wants to download a 20 minute scene that's over 1 GB?
Anyway, H.264 (technically MPEG-4 Part 10 AVC) is the latest cutting edge compression technology. It's used by cable/satellite and Blu-Ray/HD. This is also known as a nearly lossless Broadcast format. Your satellite provider is giving you crystal clear digital signal at about 1500kb.
FLV and WMV are crappy Web formats. Even worse, they require a lot more file size to achieve the same video quality as H.264.
Now to really bore you, H.264 has very complicated encoding parameters. We studied these and consulted with experts, even getting a dialogue going with Adobe (who, BTW, recognizes H.264 as the future of streaming video).
Bottom line...our Computer sized files are damn near the source material and almost impossible to differentiate from our DVD sized files.
There is a law of diminishing returns with encoding, as well as quality enhancements that can be achieved by pimping out the encoding variables. We think that we've really maximized the results for the user.
I really like the porn star database page...a long list of names along with numbers indicating the number of DVD's available and the number of scenes available. I've never seen this on any other site. Quite original!
Maybe I'll join sometime down the line and download movies that are available on the site but not on Videobox...
Glad you liked the review! I was genuinely blown away by their search engine - and as folks may know, I have a serious search engine obsession, so that is saying something, lol
Their DVD collection really is remarkably diverse, the fact that they can catalog 15 individual fetishes I think illustrates that pretty well. I was checking the previous reviews here and it seems they've tripled the size of their collection in a year, that ain't bad progress at all. 50 DVDs a month really should be enough to keep anyone entertained presuming the diversity remains catered too.
The Editorial picks and commentary were the unexpected bonus that really endeared me to this site. The picks genuinely haven't let me down so far; scenes with that honor always have something special that makes them memorable and that is saying a lot in current porn. The commentary though, god is that stuff funny, and so very tweaked most of the time, lol
Yeah, you really can't beat that year deal - I'm not one to usually recommend dropping a Benjamin on porn, but if you can honestly download their entire collection in under a year, at the rate they are adding DVDs, then you have too much time on your hands :-P
I use "Internet Download Manager" or IDM. I've used it for nearly 5 years. There are a lot of options that you can set and it works pretty well for most porn sites, too.
I haven't used FlashGet in a LONG time, so I'm not sure what the configuration options are.
For IDM, I make sure to save the site login in the options page. I found that makes a difference on a lot of sites when I am batch downloading a bunch of movies. Perhaps there is something similar in FlashGet.
It has been a while since I was a member, but I remember being able to use my download manager on the site. I used Internet Download Manager and didn't have to "babysit the downloads."
What downloader are you using that is causing problems?
In the past when I contacted their Support I always got a very fast response. This time nada, even after 24 hours.
And in most cases when a site goes down, you can't log in. I couid log in fast and clean but once in (on the home page) I was unable to access any content.
That's why my conjucture that they were out of business.
After about 36 hours I got an email from them that just gave me my logon stuff (access code and password) which meant nothing. No response to my follow-up.
I'm giving it another day then will simply cancel. (My current run expires on Friday.)
Guess what... some of the scenes are in Porn Pros. Go to Lubetube.com and look up Amia. That's how I found out it was also available in PornPros. If you decide to go to Pornpros... be careful. During the subscription process, they sell other services and have clicked the option for you.
Update:
Heads up... I was wrong, but they are very similar.
Well, as I said in the review, they're streaming only. Here's some more detail:
Desperate Teens XXX: 23 pp of vids, 12 per page. Vids include small pics as well (980x800). Streams in "broadband, dsl, and dialup" and in wmv or flash, clips or the full vid. Some known stars, some hot, some not so hot.
Super Reality Feeds: 90 pp of vids, 12 per page. (Yes, that's a nine followed by a zero.) Otherwise, like Desperate Teens.
We are glad to inform you that despite this download speed problem being a particularly nasty one, today our administrators have managed to find and deploy a temporary workaround for it, as permanent fix can take quite a while. Now from the server in US (we needed to rent one specially for dealing with this problem), we observe download speeds (using single connection from within browser) which are about 4 times higher then they were before this fix. While it is still not perfect, and we are working on it further, we think it is a significant improvement.
As you were one of the people complaining about it, could you please try it now to confirm the fix is indeed working for you?
Thank you very much for the feedback, and I apologize for the delay with replying to your comment.
It seems that there are two separate matters here.
The first one is this very nasty download speed issue which manifests itself mostly for US users (in Europe speeds are normally much better), and which was first reported by Duke in The Best Porn review a few days ago. Our administrator is working around the clock together with ISP people on resolving it, and we hope that we will be able to deploy a temporary workaround within a few days, and then provide compensations to everybody affected.
The second matter is a problem you have with download manager. It is quite strange, and in our experiments we had good results with "Internet Download Manager", "Download Accelerator Plus", and "Free Download Manager" which you were using. Also as far as we know, Duke from The Best Porn have used "Internet Download Manager" with good results. To resolve this problem, you may want to try some other download manager, or to let us know (either in our "Suggestions & Bugs" forum, or by e-mail to support@fuckinggamble.com ) which exactly was the file you have problems with when downloading using FDM, and we will try to see if there is any problem on our end with this specific file. Please also keep in mind that one important thing to consider when downloading huge files, is to know if your file system allows single file to exceed 2G limit. If you are downloading to a network drive, or to an external drive, or if you are using FAT32 filesystem on your HDD for any reason, it can happen that while you have terabytes of free space on your HDD, no single file on this HDD can possibly exceed 2G in size. As our files can easily be, for example, 2.1G, then first 2G may be saved to such filesystem without problems, but then download will stop because of this limitation (see also related comment by Helvetic and subsequent discussion here, on Porn Users).
We apologize for any inconvenience because of these download speed issues, and hope to resolve them to everybody's satisfaction within a few days.
I used to subscribe to GGG back when they had DRM, and the DL speeds were incredibly FAST. Faster than most other porn sites AAMOF.
You may want to check your speed at www.dslreports.com
You will have to register to get to use all of the features, but REG is FREE and well worth the time. They have the most accurate SPEED algorithms and also have a great bunch of resources on how to MAKE YOUR DL SPEEDS FASTER.
Try a download acceleration utility (DownThemAll! for Firefox is great). Some sites basically require it to get descent download speeds. Though many sites don't support it all, which is unfortunate.
