No worries, RA. I was just concerned you might have missed it.

Yeah tried with free download manager as well as downthemall but the same thing on both of them starts well then drops to 300 mark so takes ages but it does fluctuate massively

You'd actually be surprised rearadmiral,how many perfectly sexy looking & very alluring women go for breast enhancement & ruin their bodies. An example is Angel Rivas, European Pornstar who was so sexy with her small
boobs but now she's lost that edge

She's done a little work for other sites, but not very much. For example, she shot a Brazzers scene a couple years ago, and I know that there are a few other vids for other companies out there.

One of the best...and what I consider most important: helpful reviews, I've seen here for some time.
Never really got hooked on ALS Scan for many reasons, but according to this review....maybe I should take one more look. Apparently things are going the right way...

Nice review and I agree with you that a site which no longer updates can still be a great thing. The most important things that has to be present for those types of sites to be any good is that the vids must be decent (if they are 640x480 then I'm happy) and the join price must be below 20$. Any site that stopped updating a year or more ago can't be above 20$ because they can't claim to need extra money to shoot new content.
Brandi being at 18$ is below the 20$ mark which is good but unless they remaster a lot of her stuff(which I doubt they will do) then at some point the join price should drop to below 15$.

Thank you RA. That is then something of a deal breaker for me. I found it so frustrating on previous memberships. I think the explanation is not a revisit of a regular model because they have named repeat visits explicitly - e.g. Faye Runaway shoot 2. But then the contents of a "shoot" took months and months to appear. And the same was true of a new model. I can never get enough of Kiera Winters. I see she has just appeared. I would join when she has 5 or more shoots up. And that is despite the fact that I hate toys and insertions. ALS usually have a few good shots without toys in each series and it is worth joining just for those and ignoring all the cucumbers. But if she has just one set up, I might be joining for 5 images, which is not the best value. I guess they do it because they think members will stay longer to wait for the updates. I just stay away while I wait for the updates :-(
Thanks again for the info. I guess I will need to wait a year before joining again.

Great review as always Rearadmiral
Yeah I've said before this site is awesome if you like photos and vids of solo girls and not many sites are good at both. Myself though I just couldn't get into lots of the videos because they tended to be photoshoots and I didn't like that, seemed a waste to me that the 2 girls were there and performing lesbian action but kept stopping and posing for the camera, I prefer much more to see an actual lesbian scene. I know the site has them too but just not that many to justify me joining and I'm not really into solo girl stuff unless they are super hot.
Still I never rule the site out of a future join and if they did a deal for $19.99 or less I'd for sure consider it as I bet there is some stuff I'd really like with the normal shot lesbian and group girl scenes.

OMG, sorry to hear this, yeah this sucks big time, I find streaming so pointless to be honest, well its only good for previewing a scene to see if you want to download then I think its a good addition to a site, otherwise it is very annoying to find you can't download a scene. Anyway I'll stay away from Hot Kinky Jo and her streaming movies.
Cheers for the info and sorry it cost you $30

And a question. The biggest solvable problem I had with the site was that they shoot a load of sets with a model and then take months or years to release them. Are they still doing the updates in this way?

What an excellent and comprehensive review! And I speak as someone who has joined this site several times despite not much liking its content. Like it or not, I have to agree that it does what it clearly sets out to do, with photographic and video quality standards that are possibly unmatched.

Nice review,
I agree with most of your points, although I obviously am not as fond of this site as you are. I also agree with exotics, that I find videosz to be a bit better, the crap-to-decent ratio seemed a bit better there to me. The site you were thinking of was perhaps American Vice (I liked them much better than either of the 'video' sites?

I will post this to Monahan as well. Videosz has started getting some exclusive content. Though the webmaster of Tainster, I think, thought I was putting them down, Videosz has picked up, according to him, 25% of their 3,000 once exclusive scenes on DVDs and those are nearly all public/voyeur scenes. I felt more overwhelmed on Videosz than Videobox, but it could have just been from being away from Videosz for so long. And I think I probably know the video site you're talking about, American Vice. There have been quite a few DVD sites I've liked over the years that either dropped way off or shutdown, like Vixeo. Seems like when they first came out they had a 50% exclusive rate on their DVDs, but their webmaster was an ass and he jumped the price up from $9.95 or $14.95 to $34.95. The other that comes to mind was DVD Box, which had several exclusive deals with exclusive paysites to distribute some of their content, but they are now just releasing the bargain bin type DVDs.

I'm interested in your observations about Videoz and VB. Does Videoz have enough non-duplicated content to make it worthwhile to subscribe to both at the same time?

I've always kept VB in my rotation of sites I join, but skipped them this last time and gave VideosZ a try. I can't say you would have the same experience, but I actually was happier with VideosZ than my last time at Videobox. Since I was going out of town, I canceled the VideosZ account early, but am now going right back and rejoining. Biggest difference I found was VideosZ has some content that I had thought was wholly exclusive to the sites they came from. Tainster, formerly Erromax, Orgymax, has around 200 DVDs on VideosZ of their sites Party Hardcore, Mad Sex Party and Drunk Sex Orgy. And it's not to take away from Videobox, if anything I will pair the two together from now on.

I keep meaning to join this site, but never actually doing it, mostly because I know I'll probably be partially paralyzed by the choices and either not download anything for a few days or downloading so much that I need a brand new hard drive. But I think now is the time, especially so that I can see what the difference between the old and new versions of the site and see for myself if the new version is that bad.

Another great review and there's one point you and I agree on and that's i their policy of adding new content. I'd rather see less movies being added on a regular basis and better ones instead. There are way too many movies that are basically just content filler so that they can keep thei claim of adding 5 new movies per day.
There are also too many movies that contain leased content already on the site under a different studio name. I'd much rather see them go for the dead studios content like Diabolic, Anabolic, Jm production and so on. They already update with some of their content but if they weren't spending money on all the crap then they would have more to go after those better studios.

Can't say I agree with your fondness for this site, but I will say your review is as close to par-excellence as one can get.
Your efforts deserves a hardy high-five and certainly a gesture of appreciation from the site webmasters

from messmer:
Excellent review, rearadmiral! I would only like to add that, regrettably, every time they publish a "mature" title every scene appears to contain enhanced breasts. I find, in general, that the more mature ladies are being sadly neglected in favor of youth. You would like that, of course (we've talked about it in the Forum) but there are many of us who would like to see more "natural" MILF, even GILF videos, but regrettably there are not enough of us to sway VB. I've had no problems with download speeds, they are consistently at my maximum but have big problems when it comes to navigating within VB3 so you are wise to keep using the old site.

Excellent review.
I wonder how common slow download speeds are at VideoBox?
On 2012-07-06, OneMan posted a site comment that he's getting terrible download speeds, 100 KB/sec or less. He lives in UK.
mike11w replied to the comment that he's also experiencing poor download speeds and that customer service is terrible as well. He lives in the US.
TheSquirrel, in reply to a different comment on the site, wrote:
"It may be the ability to download material rather than the content that decides the review. I hated Video Box and never went back because they had the slowest download speeds I have ever experienced. Their customer service was non existent. Streaming was impossible except some time after midnight here in the UK. Good material and value but it all depends on the ability to watch it.
For those who can access the content I fully understand why it should get high marks, but it's a lottery on download speeds. From what I have heard US appears not to be so bad, but European members often report of slow speeds and download problems."

from Monahan:
A few comments about Rearadmiral's review:
5 updates per day - Totally agree that, with 13,345 movies (today's total) there is a bunch of crapola. However their recently added feature of quickie previews gives the discerning porndog the ability to get an idea of the content of a video before spending any time on it. I'm fine with 5 per day and like the opportunity to sort through the offerings myself rather than have someone else do the selecting for me.
New VB3 feature - Totally agree that I prefer the old front-end over the new one. It's good that the VB folks give us the full choice.
Compilations and duplications - Would be an annoyance except there's a loyal group of VB'ers who accurately point out duplications. The good part about that is if you find a scene that you want to download, you may find an earlier posting that runs longer or even that is available in HD.
Inaccurate identification of talent - One major failing that is not mentioned in Rearadmiral's review is the frequent inaccurate identification of the talent. Worse is when there's no effort to identify the talent. With a catalog of 13,345 videos, each averaging 5 scenes, that means if you dig a particular babe, and that babe is not accurately identified, you'll need to dig through over 120,000 scenes to find her stuff; ain't gonna happen. The good part is that the VB'ers who comment frequently provide an identification and/or correction, but the bad part is that comments are not searchable. I've stumbled on some of my favorite babes totally by accident which makes me wonder how much more is out there that is undiscovered.
D/L speeds - Agree. Never had a problem with speed or with simultaneous multiple downloads.
No excuse for using a freebee site - Totally agree. Not only is there no excuse from a cost standpoint, the quality of the video on VB is usually much better.

If you do Twisty's, let me know if the TT stuff is worth the membership. I'm not that into the "real pornstar" stuff that I imagine Twisty's is mostly comprised of (i.e.- gigantic fake tits, caked on make up, that "ridden hard put away wet" look). I prefer the TT/Caprice look. Got 1 day left on my Nubiles/FTV 2-for-1 deal then I'll be looking to try something new. Thanks!!
