I'd like to address the download speed issue. We've recently implemented global mirrored servers for the 1080p HD downloads. This means that the movies will be coming from locations geographically close to the member. The download speed should fully max out the connection. The 'non-HD' videos are not on this system yet, but they should be starting May.
For example: a member with 5Mbps DSL should be able to get a full 5Mbps (625KB/s) steady for the entire download.
As far as the blurryness, it's 30fps high motion, thus quite difficult to be kept sharp in non-Hollywood grade cameras. I suggested watching the HD videos at a farther distance than where you would normally watch standard definition videos.

REPLY TO #1 - PerfectGonzo :
I'm glad to hear your improving the download speeds - they aren't exceptionally slow, but for a site dedicated to perfection in every form - they were notable. For my ISP, download speeds in excess of 1MB/s is not uncommon - I've seen as high as 3MB/s - but I generally only receive 200~300KB/s via your servers. As always with the download speed estimates YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) - I post it because other users inevitably ask it - but with location and ISP differences it isn't always the most reliable estimate for all. Frankly, it is a very good sign that it is the primary fault I could come up with.
On the other hand, I do think it is important that people know they can't freeze frame the video and get a picture perfect shot in 1920x1080 resolution - I understand that Hollywood grade camera's are outrageously expensive, so as exceptional as the video is, it isn't Blu-Ray. I personally would recommend most users skip the HD file and go for the 960x540 file as most users don't have monitors with a high enough resolution for the HD, and the 960 file will consequently look sharper, be easier to download and easier on the rig. I would have included that in the review, but as usual I ran out of space.
I did forget to mention that you guys do have a wonderful support team that responded to an inquiry of mine within hours - that is always commendable. You have a wonderful site - I just wish you would experiment a bit with the content a bit more, get outside your safety zone and see what happens. As it is, it is a strange thing - I feel I can't rate it poorly at all - the content is exactly what it professes to be - but in essence, that is its own downfall. All of the mystery is gone and we know what will happen from the moment we press play. I'm not saying pornographic films need to have a deviously complex plot line, but leaving any variability in a scene to need to be an act-of-god, that makes for a bit of a sameness to it all. Perhaps I'm jaded or just peculiar, but I felt it necessary to address the issue.
Cheers!
