I took a three month membership with a free month added a month ago and am sorry about it now, even though the price was right. Their download speed has become intolerable. Today, the best speed I got was 89 kB/s and that's not a fluke, it's been like this for three weeks or thereabouts.

Have you tried using a download manager? The web-master from DDF recommended "DownThemAll", which is a plug-in to Firefox, so it works right from your browser - you right click to download and using DownThemAll is an immediate option - the simplicity is great for a tech-moron like myself.
I get speeds of 515 kb/sec from Videobox and virtually every other site I've used this download manager with any hour of the day or night.

To tell the truth I'm scared to use them because I don't know how to go about it. For instance, at Video Box, how would you go about downloading scenes from various DVDs. Do you right click on the first scene, then go to the next to right click "down them all" and so on? I know it's stupid but the options are intimidating to me. Do I just check off something like download multimedia, or pictures or both. I wish someone were looking over my shoulders when I make my first attempts. I did manage to do it just right with an unzipped picture set but that's how far I got.

As I say, with this DownThemAll plug-in to Firefox, it's pretty straightforward, just like saving any file. You right click on a scene that you want to save, below the usual options such as "Save link as", you'll see an option to "Save Link with DownThemAll!", you choose that option, a "DownThemAll!" window will open, which is also very straight-forward. It has a clear place where it says "Save files in" so that you can direct the file exactly where you want it to be. You click "Start" and it starts and displays a nice window so that you can see the progress - at the bottom it shows the speed at that moment, next to the file itself it shows you the average speed - because I may get speeds of 2.02mb/sec for a moment or two, but my average download speed is 515.2kb/sec.
Repeat as you go. If I'm too much of a tech-moron to answer your question correctly here, I would recommend the forum.
Good luck - I hope it solves your problem - there's too much good stuff on Videobox to suffer with 88 kb/sec downloads.

Thanks, PinkPanther. That sounds simple enough. I'm going right now to give it a try. :-)

Okay, just installed Down Them All. I have four scenes downloading from Video Box simultaneously, 2 at around 350 KB/s and 2 around 180 KB/s. Tried it on Porn.com but they didn't respond to the downloader. Thanks again.

That's a lot better than 88 kb/sec - glad it worked for you, Messmer

You have no idea how pleased I am. At Porn.com I finally found out that you could only download 2 scenes at a time but when they downloaded .. wow .. I haven't seen 1.6 MB/s from that site ever. Same with another site I subscribe to. They too limit downloads to two but at 1.7 - 1.8 MB/s who's complaining. Tried both sites with the regular Firefox downloader and couldn't even get a quarter of that speed. Thanks again.
