It's not the posting that was the issue but the vocabulary that was used. The title of the thread is "A New Low". How exactly would a site being down be a new low? If he had just posted a comment asking other members to see if they had isse with VB3 or VB2 then I wouldn have been glad to check and confirm whether I saw the same problem but that's not what he did. He pretty much slammed what is essentially one of the highest rated sites on the net.
I welcome comments with important news because these can sometime be more up to date than any review but the comment must be constructive or it's only a bitch fest. I think if you want to bicth about something than use the forum. You can put a lot more info and it's more appropriate than the comment section.

Yes - American Vice. That's the site I was thinking of. That was a great site and I'm sorry it closed.

Fair enough, slutty! It is NOT good! :-) But I was responding originally to the claim that there was no way to look up porn stars and VB clearly gives me that choice in VB3.

I can't imagine that anyone prefers streaming to start immediately with no action from the user. I keep my speakers off, but it sucks bandwidth from what I'm already downloading. With VB3 (all VB3, not just Kink stuff) it can take several tried to get it to stop completely.
Video quality is lower on VB, but that could be because I'm downloading a lower quality too. I recall that on Kink that I tended to download what was labelled as WMV HD. Those specs are 1280x720 @ 7100kb/s. I downloaded the WMV DVD which came in at 720x480 @ 387kb/s. I have very little understanding of the technical bits, but it seems to me that the size of the files (HD on Kink and DVD on VB) were pretty close. Kink scenes tends to be pretty long, often over an hour, and the file sizes on VB were still very large. Most of them are at or just over 1GB. I have no idea why a scene with such different resolutions would be so close in actual size.
One other difference which probably doesn't impact on too many people is that Kink uses WMV codec 9 and VB uses codec 8. That means that anyone using one of those devices to play files through their TV (like the Western Digital device) can't play the files from VB though if they had the same file from Kink it would play.

I've decided to take exotics' advice and not join the RK channel. I also based that on the advice of a friend (and PU lurker) who said he never experienced a download limit. His and exotics' experiences were the same, but I'm not going to count on that. But the fact that the RK channel isn't well organized and there is no search function I'll just join RK.
I'm still planning to join the Kink channel when the pro-rated price drops so I can sample some material from sites I've not had a membership to.

slutty - I think I might have an answer for you and it isn't because RK is only available through VB3. I went to VB using my iPad which doesn't have a VB cookie on and I noticed that the RK site doesn't show up. So I went to my PC and cleared the cache and went to VB and the RK channel is nowhere to be found. Then I logged in and it was there. That seems to be the answer, but I can't give you any thoughts on why they do it that way. It seems strange to me. I think the only logical explanation is that it's an oversight or an error. I can't imagine that VB and RK actually want to hide the fact that you can pay extra and get access to some RK scenes.
This certainly won't solve the problem that you can't see the RK channel, but at least you'll know why you can't see it.

Slutty - I'm not sure why you're not seeing the RK channel but a possibility is that you're in the "old" VB site rather than in VB3. I prefer the old site so I download all the stuff I want from VB through that, but the only 'channels' you can even see on the old site are Evil Angel and Vivid. You have to go to VB3 to see Kink and Reality Kings.
The RK channel appears to have started on October 28, 2010, so it isn't new. They seem to add a scene per day too.
I'm hoping that the answer is that you can only even see it through VB3 because if that isn't the answer I'm not sure what the solution could be.
I haven't joined the RK channel yet but I plan to when I have some to go through it. One complaint, and this may be entirely subjective, is that it doesn't appear that the scenes are associated with any of the RK sites. I'd like to see some newer Captain Stabbin and VIP Crew stuff, for example, but I can't find any way to sort it by RK site.

This has been a serious problem for years and has only gotten worse. Although it isn't perfect, I find that one way to locate a specific model is to find a video she's in then click on her name in the scene list.
Typing Gianna Michaels in the search box has yielded no results on occasion and a ton of results otehr times. By finding a video with Gianna in it and clicking on her name I usually get much better results,
But the major frustrations are where they misidentify a babe, or just misspell the name.
AFAIC this site loses at least 5 points for that failure alone. With the money they make they should at least make a small effort to fix the horrible search function.

It was always in the afternoon, so it was impossible to stream and pointless to download in the afternoon. It picked up after midnight. That was one thing that was really good about American Vice. I found their speeds really good at any time of day. They will really be missed.

Would you beleieve a low of 1kb/s? Not kidding! At the same time I was getting trouble, some members said download speeds were fine, and other members were reporting really slow speeds. Maybe it was worse in Europe because that seems to be where most of the reports of slow speeds were coming from. At the time I was getting no other problems from any other site.

from Tree Rodent:
Good review. I like what you say. I think there are a lot of cons about this site that newbies miss becasue they are not aware. They become more focussed on the amount of material rather than the quality, and the lousy customer service. For me this site had the worst download spped of any I have ever experienced. I joined this site once about two years ago and never returned.

from Rob12:
Yeah you hit the nail on the head man. The webmaster on this site either doesn't give a damn or figures that we peasants who pay for the site don't know what we're talking about. I've joined this site again and am ready to leave again after getting most of what I wanted to download, I'll wait another 3-4 months and come back check it out and probably rejoin. The model names and lousy search engine probably wont be improved either good review. Rob12

Still, it's nice to get an update on this site know and then.

Thanks for the review. Made me remember that it was about the time I subscribed to this one too. I just fear the amount of material is overwhelming when all the titles are full length instead of clips ;)

I bet porn fans have more browsers than non-porn fans! I went through 5 different browsers!

Sounds like a good deal. I just took a look and I think the premium channels are only $3 a piece.

Yeah, I just started using DownThemAll recently and it has worked well for me. It's an extension for the Firefox browser, not a separate program...so that's convenient since you don't have to download an install a whole program.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it seems to be very erratic. The first download may start slowish under 1 megabyte per second and when I eventually start another, it might max out my band up to 12 megabytes per second while the first one keeps on trickling. Or it may trickle even slower. Or never start and timeout.
Oh well, at least everything eventually comes through without corrupted files or anything.

Excellent review and you are right on in your comments, slutty. I made the mistake some time ago of signing on long term and was never so sorry because it was the same old, same old, day after day with the updates and I was never happier than when my subscription ran out! They grossly neglect anything but Gonzo style porn. Some of the niches I like had their last update in 2007!

Do you have anything turned off, slutty. Like the automatic playing of Flash? Of course it is also possible that they've now removed it because it did confuse people. In any case you just confirmed what I wanted to know: No HD yet, so, thanks!
