I'm glad you were able to queue as much as 50Gb the last time you were a member but frankly I'm glad that they don't allow people to have 30 videos on queue who manage to download them all because that is just plain wrong. That's called bandwidth hogging and it slows websites way down for the rest of us. I'm thinking a 10 video queue limit is more than reasonable.

pat,
As a big fan of x-art, their new setup is quite frustrating, I can see limiting people, but queuing files up only works for maybe two videos now before the rest time out, which is a bit excessive. Given it is a small site, I am sure they are concerned about rippers, but it does make thinks a bit inconvenient for loyal costumers that join a couple of times a year and don't have the time to monitor their downloads (like me). I would prefer being able to queue a bunch up, even on a limited bandwidth, as I typically only download videos 3-4 times over a month of membership - which I don't really consider "hogging". If the majority of members prefer the same methodology I do, I don't know that it would drastically harm other users as long as they weren't all hitting the site at the same time.

Is it possible that their new setup is in large part because of the OP comments regarding queuing 30 videos. Sorry but that is a lot of videos on one queue. I agree with you that limiting members to only two queued videos is small and hopefully they will fix that but I'm a regular member of a couple of Kinks sites and I can usually queue about only 2-3 videos.

Perhaps, I just sort of find the bandwidth hog argument a little bogus on a smaller site like this, given that in theory it is material they would like to download anyway, the same amount of bandwidth is used.
My guess is that it is a preventative measure against site rippers, which is unfortunate, but I guess it is just what we have to deal with these days. The only Kink sites I was a member of let you queue up a pretty substantial collection, but that was a few years ago so perhaps things have changed.
Nice to see you are still around, seemed like everyone was leaving for a while and I have been way to busy lately, I was worried PU would be basically empty.

I suspect that you are correct and the policy is targeted at site rippers and again it's the honest people that pay the price for little douchebags.
The change at Kink are probably in the last twelve months or so. I used to remember being able to queue at least 4 or 5 videos but now I can usually queue at least 3 or so. That's not to say that I can't put more than 3 in my download manager but only the first two will actually download and I seem to remember having to go back and restart the others so why bother putting them in the manager.
