I don't blame you for not wanting to have anything to do with this site any longer, silverman. It's a sneaky and underhanded thing to do to a regular (non-trial) subscriber.
I think what happened is this: their updates don't come all that often (see my review) and people would invariable get everything of interest to them within the space of a few weeks. By making only three videos available for download for a limited time they hope to keep us re-subscribing so that we won't miss out on the videos before they are relegated to streaming only. I predict that their new business model will fail miserably.

Streaming only has always been a crappy option for me. I've never seen streaming video that was anywhere near the quality of downloaded stuff. Watching it is like driving one of my old cars when a piston or two was mis-firing. Very distracting! putt, putt, .....putt, putt.......putt....putt, putt.....

I flatly refuse to join any "streaming only" site, JayG. To me it's the same as DRM. They forget that most of us are collectors and that we don't want to be tied to any site with the umbilical cord of having to stay subscribed in order to enjoy the contents.

Hi Messmer,
Here's the response from their support:
"In an effort to limit the amount of content being downloaded by “pirates” using automated download managers, we recently updated the download options for video postings on www.50PlusMilfs.com and www.60PlusMilfs.com.
All new video content remains totally downloadable in HD. However, after approximately six weeks, the download option will be removed and the content will then be viewable only in streaming format.
To increase the enjoyment of our streaming videos, we have recently upgraded to a state-of-the-art new Content Delivery Network (CDN) with servers around the world to ensure that our streaming video plays fast and without buffering.
Please understand that your long-term satisfaction remains our top priority, and if you are not satisfied with www.50PlusMilfs.com or www.60PlusMilfs.com, we would be happy to cancel and refund your membership upon your request. Of course, we really hope you understand the dire consequences of Internet piracy and are willing to stay with us through these trying times. We fully understand that it is your support that keeps us in business and enables us to continue discovering new models and shooting the top-notch content that you expect from us."
Maybe the start of a new trend?

REPLY TO #4 - Silverman6 :
Thanks for the update, Silverman6! As to the new trend: some sites are trying but I don't think they'll be successful. That trend would only sound good to a kid who's afraid of someone finding porn on his hard drive. :-) As I stated earlier, for the rest of us it is only another form of DRM and the overwhelming majority of us have rejected that trend! I can't tell you what to do but I would, personally, take them up on the offer to give you a refund. That'll teach 'em!
If you haven't done so yet, I would edit my comment to include their answer to you, or make a new comment with their answer to you only. Potential subscribers HAVE to know this, especially since there is nothing in their tour to indicate that they made a dramatic change like that.

All I can say is that you and I are on the same page. If I wanted to look at crappy streaming video, there are dozens of free sites I could waste my time watching. I'm a collector, too, willing to pay for quality, not junk.
