It may be the ability to download material rather than the content that decides the review. I hated Video Box and never went back because they had the slowest download speeds I have ever experienced. Their customer service was non existent. Streaming was impossible except some time after midnight here in the UK. Good material and value but it all depends on the ability to watch it.
For those who can access the content I fully understand why it should get high marks, but it's a lottery on download speeds. From what I have heard US appears not to be so bad, but European members often report of slow speeds and download problems.

Two people can easily look at the same thing at the same time.
One might love it the other hate it.
Don't waste time agonising.

Well, I gave the negative review, and it's because it is negative.
A place like Videobox is basically a giant download site. None of the content is exclusive, and it's reputation should live or die on the ability to download movies.
Right now the site is garbage. A complete waste. They even have malicious scripts on their server that will abort your downloads at 99.1%-99.9%.
There are plenty of other choices out there. I've been using them off and on... the last two were videoz and porn.com. I thought I'd stop in and see how this site was doing since it didn't used to be anywhere close to this bad.

REPLY TO #3 - Murkk :
I respect your opinion but you are way off on your info about there being plenty of other similar sites out there. The only site that comes close to equaling VB is VideosZ and they don't even have has many movies has VB. What they have is more movies from certain studios and I wouldn't be surprised if each of them has a certain number of exclsuif movies as well.
Mind you if you can't download the content then it really doesn't matter how much a site has or how greta it is.

Maybe it's a question of the entire setup at this site - it may seem attractive to some - and it may be attractive when you join and get overwhelmed - by the amount. And then to some: A disapointment of quality in general.
Still it should come as no surprise with the very different scores - this site in particular has been debated over and over again - with all it's "plus and minus"
Will not go into details - the details have been around about Videobox as long as TBP/PU - but guess it still comes down to the gap between "the amount" and "the quality" - it does to this user, anyway.....

The fact that someone can't download properly would certainly cause a wide gap in the ratings. It has never happened to me with VB. As I wrote in a comment on the latest review I usually download at my top speed which is at present set at 2.3MB/s. I have never had an abort after 99% of a movie was downloaded so I can't identify with our fellow Europeans except to express my sympathy. My personal beef with VB is that they are catering too much to the common taste (good business sense, though) and not enough to the niches. That's why I prefer Videosz. They are mostly main stream as well but do a bit more to appease my strange tastes.
