sonofzog, another PU member, recently reported a slow connection with the Lets Doe It network.
Said that videos can take 20 minutes to download.
Said he contacted support to help fix the problem.
But he hasn't updated on whether the problem was fixed or not.
Did you contact support to see if they could increase your download speeds from the site?
I'm a current member of the site, and don't seem to have your problems.
But my Wi-Fi connection seems much slower than yours, so I'm more used to waiting for my laptop to make slow connections, and to download much more slowly.
Also, I haven't found a replacement for the Down Them All manager I used to use.
For many years I used Down Them All, it was free, simple, and easy to use.
Then Windows upgraded, and for many years, Down Them All would not work with the current edition of Windows.
Finally, they came out with a version of Down Them All that works with the current edition of Windows, but it seems much different, and I don't know how to use the new version of Down Them All. It's not easy and simple any more.
What download manager are you using?
I'm looking for a download manager that is free, simple, and easy to use.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks, in advance.

I still use DownThemAll with an old version of Firefox with is used specifically for browsing and DLing videos from paid porn sites. As far as I'm aware, it's not the version of Windows that stopped Down Them All working, it's the version of Firefox which after version 56 dropped support for loads of extensions, including DTA.
The exact version of FF I have is 56.0.2 and the version of DTA is 3.0.8
I installed Firefox from this download - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/rele...52.0esr/win64/en-US/ and DTA downloads are at https://code.downthemall.net/releases/
Almost forgot to say - when you install the older version of Firefox, first thing you need to do is untick the settings option to automatically update to the latest version, otherwise it'll auto-update and you'll lose DownThemAll
Hope that helps, if not then let me know.

Hi and thanks for your informative review, the slow download speeds and the lack of download manager support are major turn-offs for me so I'd think twice about joining.
Can you tell me at what bitrate 1080 content is encoded at? If playing the video in Windows Media Player you can see the bitrate my choosing File -> Properties from the menu.

Thanks for the generous helping of information.
I believe you're right, the problem was with Firefox, not with Windows.
The new version of Down Them All is much harder to use, and I haven't tried to learn how to use it.
The old version of Down Them All was much simpler, easy to use.
At the moment, I'm kind of snowed with problems.
I got a re-newed desktop, which I'm learning to use.
And, off topic, I have a bunch of cavities in my teeth, which are going to be slow and expensive to fix, as well as freaken painful. The freaken pain has already started, and that's before they have pulled any teeth yet.
So until I get the time and energy (and ambition--at the moment, all I want to do is crawl into bed and hope the pain goes away), I won't be trying your excellent suggestion.
I think someone else suggested something similar a while back, but I didn't follow up on it, because I was thinking an older version of firefox might be more open to viruses.
But I hope to try your old version of firefox with the old down them all, because it was so easy to use.

Sorry to hear about your teeth, good luck with getting the cavities sorted out.
The older version of Firefox should be fine, you'd generally only be in any danger using it to browse seriously dodgy websites, which doesn't include legitimate paid porn sites.
A good antivirus package such as Kaspersky, Bitdefender or Norton would help keep you safe anyways, but if you were seriously paranoid, you could create a virtual machine (if you're running Windows 10 Pro) and use that for all your Firefox porn surfing - that way any nasties wouldn't infect your main desktop and you could wipe clean the virtual machine after each use.
I think I might create a blog page detailing the above and link to it from a forum post, as others might find it useful too, so thank you for the inspiration.
