For sites that don't bother to name files properly, you can greatly reduce the time needed to rename files by using a renaming app. It's still a bit of a pain but if you use the models name for each zip file as you're saving it, it's just a matter of using an app that will rename the pictures inside the extracted folder using the folder name as a prefix. I've been using Bulk Rename Utility for years and it really has helped in cases like this.
As far as the mp4 files go, I have to ask if your codecs are up to date. My PC isn't slow but it is several years old and I never had a problem with the playback. Have you tried VLC for Mac?

Thanks, RB-
I do use a bulk renaming app (A Better Finder Rename) all the time. But with all the other research and renaming that has to be done to WAP's files and folders after downloads, renaming the image files themselves is just one more nail in the coffin. The vido files are so inconsistently named that bulk renaming doesn't really work: it has to be done manually.
THE FILES AND FOLDERS SHOULD BE NAMED PROPERLY FROM THE SITE.
As to VLC: I stopped using it a few years ago. If I remember correctly, it was because it kept losing prefs across updates. Again, if I remember, I had to enter custom prefs to get arrow-keys to serve for video FF/REW/SKIP functions; it was a lot of work and after VLC trashed that work I stopped bothering to use it. Again: this was years ago and I may not be remembering correctly.
The wmv files have 1440 horiz. resolution: better than HD video, and enough for me. They also save a bit of drive space, which accumulates.

I definitely agree - sites should at least name their files. It just doesn't seem like such a big deal and makes no sense that they don't.
I don't know how the renaming utility that you're using works, but with the one I suggested, the only real pain is having to type out the name of the zip file each time. Once named and extracted, BRU will use the folder name as a prefix. "Model name" becomes Model name 001, Model name 002, etc. Then again, you're on a Mac, so unless you use a Windoze emulator, I guess that's out.
I'm seriously anti-update. I never set any program to auto update and only update when I lose functionality. It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure VLC will save your preferences if you manually remove the program when installing a newer version. If I remember correctly, there's an option you check or uncheck to save user preferences.

No, that's close to the procedure I would use too. I'm just a bit tired having done so much work to identify what I've unloaded already.
Thanks for all the input and good words!

Hi There, Many thanks for your feedback on my site. It is very much appreciated and helps me make a better site that is more user friendly. On my future updates I will make sure that the naming of the folders is done in a more sensible fashion. In the mean time would you guys be able to suggest a way you think would work best in the naming of the movie files and would you like us to name the images to or just put them in additional folder which will be the name of the set.

REPLY TO #5 - wetandpuffy :
In my mind, picture sets and videos should always contain at least the model's name and/or a title that uniquely identifies them.
*********
On a completely unrelated topic and while I've got your attention - can I ask that you please do away with the music intros and outros on your videos? I think they really hurt what is otherwise really good material.

@ wetandpuffy webmaster:
What a great response from the site! Thanks!
When it comes to naming photos, their folders, and video files, your types of name always seem to fall out to two types. I always put the model name first so their files sort together. Then SPACE DASH SPACE followed by the project's title
This is how I would rename things from your site:
MODEL'S NAME ONLY, NO TITLE
(I repeat the model's name as the title):
mary_mary.zip unzips to "Mary - Mary" folder title
mary_mary.023HR.jpg
mary_mary.wmv (Names like this are easy to change with a bulk renamer)
MODEL'S NAME ONLY, WiTH TITLE:
mary_fun_times.zip unzips to "Mary - Fun Times" folder title
mary_fun_times.023HR.jpg
mary_fun_times.wmv
Again, thanks for writing back. Hope this helps.

Hi, WAP Webmaster- I was cut off from being able to edit my repy above before I'd finished editing it to make the most sense.
I will shortly send you a personal message here.
Again: THANKS for your polite expression of interest!

Good review, Critic. I agree with most of that. Excellent photography, reliable downloads, some gorgeous models, with sexy poses.
I don't find the pee wallowing and drinking to be a turn-on, and too many of the videos seem to follow _exactly_ the same script. Even if that's your thing, it's bound to become boring.
You're spot on about the filename issue - lame, and it should be so easy for them to fix. Since this is a problem at quite a few sites, and not likely to be fixed at all of them soon, you might want to try File Renamer (http://download.cnet.com/File-Renamer-Ba...2248_4-10306538.html). I've had the free "basic" version for several years, and it works great. Still takes some effort on the back end, but fast and versatile.
