Can anyone substantiate this? Seems far fetched...

I would be horrified if this is true. Thank goodness I downloaded their entire library a month ago lol. Probably not true tho.

I have been told this is true, unfortunately. Our review will be getting an update to reflect this change shortly.

From their "join" page:

"Unlimited HD Streaming". Yay, except for those of us who don't care and/or who don't have the connections to support it.
They were on my radar to join in the next month or two, but no downloads is complete deal breaker with other high quality, download-friendly, and fairly interchangeable sites like RK and NA being available for similar prices.
Good luck, Mofos.

No probs LPee, cant say I blame you with my prev postings as a zero! In fact joined myself so i could let you all know as i have found this forum a big use in the past. Shame they've gone down this route, i still return to sites as they add more content, will see if that changes in the future...

I have to confess that like others here I figured blueron had made a mistake. Maybe there was a problem with a cookie that could be solved by clearing his history or some other simple fix. It simply didn't occur to me that this could be accurate. So Holy Crap this is bad news. I've joined Mofos many times over the past few years but I think it's safe to say that with this news I won't be joining again.
I have no idea how Mindgeek plans to keep the site going with only streaming. Yes, I realize that there is lots of software available to capture a streaming video but for the company to just stop downloads is a big deal.
But here's a thought: maybe we're a lot different from the usual member. I think it's fair to say that most of us here are porn collectors rather than just porn users. A porn user may be just looking for a quick release whereas a porn collector may be compiling scenes with a certain theme or model. Streaming may be okay for a porn user, but as a porn collector I want to download it and keep it in my collection.
I'll be watching to see if other Mindgeek sites have done this too. (And I should add that until I know for sure there is virtually no chance that I'll join any Mindgeek sites since they really haven't been all that open about this huge change.)

Thank you for letting us know. I just changed my review to reflect this new information. I do not want to buy capture software. But let me be frank, Mofo's was never that special to me. Kink, Brazzers, Blacked.com and Tushy are my go to sites. This news just makes sure I will NEVER ever, ever, ever, ever join them again. They were mediocre at best just a notch above team skeet whom I despise.

This is rather a big deal cause you wonder why they have chosen to do this as to most here it seems like a mad idea as I personally don't see the point in streaming only. Others may differ but I just hope that others don't follow suit and soon most sites become streaming only.
Mofos I never actually ever got around to join, it tempted me a few times but never enough to actually join, looks like I never will now.

Guess I'm a collector also RM, to be honest surely everyone that subscribes would be, otherwise they could just use the freebies..? Same difference to me. I have to say tho i always keep looking at the likes of daredorm & think surely they cant be making the same kind of cash? But hey they keep streaming & by the looks of it producing new vids too.. Madness to me if I'm honest.. Drives me mad as i like the look of the site.

REPLY TO #11 - blueron :
You make a good point: why would anyone but a porn collector subscribe to a site? Otherwise, the pirate sites will get the job done. I wonder what motivated Mofos to go this route? I suspect that their business will drop substantially because of this. The worst of it is that it doesn't appear that the site is being very open about this major change and so they're likely to snag some members who are unaware of the change. if it weren't for you pointing this out I may have signed up again and I would be pissed to find it was streaming only.
Others have pointed out that you can buy software that will capture streaming video but I joined a site a couple of years ago not knowing that it was streaming only and my software wouldn't capture the videos even though it does with most streaming. That site wasn't open about being streaming-only either and when I posted that information here at PU I had a nasty email from the site owner threatening to sue me for telling the truth. It wasn't like I needed an additional reason to never go back to that site but he sure gave me one.

Made a big mistake today subscribing to Mofos.com. I paid $19.95 to join and afterwards learned the site is now streaming only for new members. I must pay an additional $7.99 to download content. WTF!!
I have subscribed to Mofos in the past and I am very familiar with their content so I never bothered to check Best Porn Reviews for site info. That is where I made my mistake. If I had come here first I could have avoided a costly mistake.

Truly the worst experience I've had with any site in all my years of purchasing porn subscriptions. First, I purchase access to Mofos through the PornPortal for a 1 time price. Then I find out that it doesn't have downloads for that membership (unlike any other site in the PornPortal) and they do not do refunds. Then I noticed you can upgrade to Premium...and EVEN THAT DOESN'T HAVE DOWNLOADS! I am told that only VIP members have access to this.
It is quite possible for people to be charged 3 times before getting access to download. Just an atrocious business model.

Really bad to read this!
I was a Mofos member for a couple of months 2 year ago, now I would like to join again to download last updates, but I have no intention at all to pay for a streaming only site!
There are a lot of free streaming sites on the web, and there is any reason to pay for it.
Thank you for saving me from that scam!
