Just want to say I'm glad you brought this up -- your main point about the files being packaged into "mini-zips." Reminds me of those variety 8-packs of breakfast cereal with one serving per tiny box.
I've complained about it before myself. ATK Premium is the only site they offer with complete (all-in-one) zips of photosets. Are the people who run the other sites looking at ATK Premium and asking themselves, "Hey! How did they do that??"
It really IS TIME for ATK Exotics AND ATK Galleria to just put all of the files into ONE ZIP! You know, there are some longer sets at ATK Galleria that have 12 or MORE little zip files! Arrrgghhh.
Surely we're not heading into 2009 with this 20-pic-max-per-zip business still going on, are we????

Hey Drooler, I mentioned it in an email last year sometime to them. The response back said that they have an easy way around it since they do give the option of a pop-up that has all of the links to each zip for each set. I tried explaining to them that with my connection speed, I click one and it is done, before I can even click the next one, but they seemed to write it off as not a big deal.
The bad thing, and I tried to explain this to them as well. I am to the point that I join the site, then get tired of fooling with all the downloads and all the does is make me not want to go back anytime soon. They didn't see that as a big deal either.
I think what really hurts them is I am a pretty regular member on Twistys and Teen Dreams, and those sites have such easy zip downloads. Find a model you like on TD, click, click, click all the little zip icons and 20 minutes later I have 30 full sets. On this site, it is click, click, click, and I have one set.
I don't understand it either. I don't know how hard or how much work it would be to put the zips into one file, but I do know that making a zip of music from separate zips takes about 30 seconds. I'm really not for sure about any of the ATK sites anymore. The Premium one, which I really like, has gone back up in price after a month of a lower price.
I guess they figure as long as there are "worse" sites, that they can get by with it. I think we are about to go into porn recession, nearly every site I've been to lately has either dropped off or has cut back on the content. Surprisingly, 21st Sextury has started making HD sites. It is kind of like Jerry Seinfeld in that Mr. Bizarro episode, where everything was opposite!

I had a big hearty laugh at the end when you mentioned Mr. Bizarro. (Or I suppose we could toss in the SNL Reagan-era "Bizzaro World," in which there's a huge crisis, to which the US President responds by immediately falling asleep.)
That get-all-the-pics-in-one-place "feature" is just a putting the list of zips one page. Reduces the number of clicks by 25% because you don't have to go to each page in the gallery. Yippee.
I would be easier for THEM to have to make just one zip file for a gallery, you'd think. Maybe they have some program that makes the zips automatically (?) -- so that's why they could care less?
Karupspc used to have zips out the kazoo, too, but they stopped and even went to the trouble redoing a massive amount of content, e pluribus unum. My hats off to them for that. But all the ATK types have to do is switch to single zips now; they could leave their "legacy" files as they are.
Yes, I think the recession's hitting the porn world, too. And what are the US presidential candidates saying about it? NOTHING!

REPLY TO #3 - Drooler :
I agree although I would prefer to see them make the effort to go back and rerun all their sets in a single zip file, I would settle and be happy if they just did it for the new sets going forward.
If they are doing singles for premium, I am not sure how they can't incorp the same procress for their other sites. Can't imagine it would take a programmer all that long to go into their software and make the tweaks to make it doable.
I do appreciate the effort that Karups did to go back and rework their zips. Karups and ATK must have had the same system for doing their updates back in the day.

Thanks for coming in. The more people get in on this, the better.
If they're using a macro to make the zips, it could easily enough be adjusted to one zip for all photos in a set.
--OR--
Zips can be made with what's built into WindowsXP. Left click on folder, choose "Send to ..." then "Compressed (zipped) Folder" and that's that. ATK Exotics tends to have around 8 or so new sets per day (except for the recycled old crap on the weekends). ATK Galleria has 16-20 new sets per day except Sunday and Monday.
Either way, it wouldn't ruin someone's wrist to make 20 zips in one day. And it would take a lot less time than it would for someone's coffee to cool off.

OK. And I do understand. Right now, it's guns and butter.
Buns and butter will just have to wait.
