| Bottom Line: |
The good? Lots of content, with sets going back over a decade. Tons of different models. They offer videos, and are filming newer stuff in HD. They've also made changes so that you now get access to three Karups sites with your $30 subscription purchase.
I think the material is probably exclusive, but Karups' content looks the same as ATK's. I'm guessing they use the same studio and photographer, but the same model's photos on each site tend to look exactly alike except for the poses.
Refreshingly, there are no ads once inside.
The bad?
There is no download VOLUME limit, but there are strict download TIME limits. Per the webmaster in the Karups comment section, the links time out after 10 minutes.

"Standard, you are correct that there are absolutely NO download limits and the links do indeed expire. They expire 10 minutes after a page is opened/accessed, which is a reasonable solution to protect our content from non-members getting access to it. ... We understand that members want to access our content as easily and with as minimal restrictions as possible. We do our best to accommodate that desire while still offering our sites some protection against the infinite amount of surfers/members that share links, share passwords, etc... etc..."
And that's very much how it works.
If you want all of an actress' 15 sets and you open the 15 separate pages and click the 15 separate download links, all of the 15 downloads need to start in the ten minutes that the pages were opened. It was also my experience that the downloads were much more likely to finish and not be abruptly disconnected midway the closer they are to the beginning of that ten minute window.
Needless to say, expect a lot of lot of 403 errors where the links are no longer alive. By a lot I mean constant.
"Oh," you think, "I've got a 100Mbps connection, so that's not a big deal." But ten minutes is about the time it takes to download one (1) 7GB 4K movie, isn't it? More relevant is to consider how many hours you're at work, asleep, and doing other things. Take the two or three hours that are left. Unless you want to babysit and check in every ten minutes to make sure your downloads are still downloading, you're not going to be downloading much content from this site after you've paid your subscription fee, and it's by design.
That's the biggie. Little stuff?
Some of the solo videos are okay, but most of the boy/girl and lesbian material is boring, poorly shot, and/or boring and poorly shot. Worse is that many of the fairly recent video clips have substantial interlacing / combing artifacts with movement, and it sometimes occurs even with stationary subjects during slow movement of the camera.
(You've probably all seen the artifacts in videos, but here's an exaggerated example of interlacing problems in an unrelated screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/99cxhw8 )
There will also be weird photo zip sizes where the 1024 option is (arbitrary) 60mb and the 1500 option is 67mb. Or the worse resolution offered in a larger size download. Many of the newer photo downloads will be offered in large and extra large, so you may have the option of a 150mb+ set or a 300mb+ set. That's nice except for the strict download timeouts.
Occasionally you'll find missing download links for photo sets. Not frequently, but often enough to notice.
The older videos are occasionally watchable, but that's forgivable since the site has content going back a decade or more. The newest videos are offered in everything from amazingly oversized 360p clips (500mb+) to 1GB 480p, to nearly 2GB 720p, 3GB 1080p, and 7GB 4K offerings. Needless to say, you're not downloading more than a couple of those at a time. On the bright side, it won't bother you too much because most of the videos are only occasionally interesting unless you like the specific actress and just have to have it for a collection.
Would I recommend? Very much. After all, paying the subscription fee, constantly babysitting, and repeatedly dealing with the irritation and frustration of the strict ten minute download time limit is the only way to legally acquire the content. |
