Bad timing on my part, I just replied to mbaya about the winrar too, you can rename the files to have the .zip extension at the end instead of .rar and it will convert them to zip files instead of rar files. I used this example with mbaya, change for example, joanne1.rar to joanne1.zip
All winrar is, is a newer and faster way to handle archives/zips, since some businesses use archives that are 4-5 GB in size, the winzip takes forever, talking 30-45 minutes to open. Winrar is probably about 5 times faster than winzip, maybe even more.

I would suggest posting this topic about winrar's as a forum thread so more people have the chance to figure this out when they come across them. I haven't heard of them before this so its good info to know.

I have flashget, freedownloadmanager and downloadmangerplus. Which manager did you get good results with? Also, changing the file to zip did not help. I got a message that there was no content inside my downloaded file. Help!

Honestly, I wish RAR files were more popular. They have better compression ratios than ZIP and they are much more flexible. Personally, I sort of give them props for going with RAR, more people should use it, though it will certainly alienate some customers.

I use IDM Internet Download Manager - never had any problems and it's very simple to use.
.rar-files. Could not change them to zip either. You can use winrar to decompress - when you have downloaded you need to insert a password - it placed at the site just below the place to download - and the password is the same for all files...

You have to have a password to extract the files? That sucks. Guess it's okay as long as your a member but what happens if over time you wanna check them out again, you'll prety much be screwed if you can't remember the password. Guess you could always just always extract the rars and then rezip them with no password but that's a step that shouldn't be needed.

Thanks for the help. I downloaded the trial version. Is it worth buying or just go with the trial?

Can't tell you. I'm certainly NOT happy with that - I think, though that after decompression the photosets are yours for good.
But - after all: to this user it's no big deal for this site. Joined for the 2-days fulltrial, downloaded what I wanted - and it's not much - it'll probably go way deep in the archives and then for a delete...

I've tried 3 or 4 others before this IDM - but none were so easy to work with as this one. Payed for it 3 years ago - without regrets - and they do a fine job in upgrades.
And as a PU - I use it every day....to be recommended.

Denner-It sounds like you were disappointed a bit. I am very curious why. By the way I also thought the oil videos were a bit odd and fetishy, but there is so much else here I just didn't pay much attention to them. How would you rate the site? Are you planning a review?

Well, yes - I'm a video man - and I think the video-deal here is very slim - some/a few fine clips and in great quality - downloaded 6 in all to keep - and thats it. (Candice, Petra and Natalia)
And by all means I also downloaded a couple of photosets here - which are pretty good - with nice/pretty and different kinds of girls than we've seen at a lot of other places. BTW: I think we've seen Petro So at Only Tease as Lily.
And no, just joined up for two days and then I skip - no review from me....

Hi Denner, thanks for your comments.
I'm more then happy to hear anyone's gripes as that the only way we can improve the site.
We've been talking in the office today about the passwords on files. I think these will be removed. Maybe we were being heavy handed on security.
The jury is still out regards the Rar vs Zip debate though but we will be listening to everyone's opinions and will go with how the users prefer them. Your the ones that are downloading them after all.

I prefer rar, but you can open and explore zips in windows by just double-clicking on them. And it's built in. It just makes it easier for most users to just use zips.

A quick update regards the use of rar files on brooke-lee-playmates.com.
We have now repacked all the image sets as zip files with no extra password protection
