Less than 10% of SLR users download 1 file or more

doublevr • Downloads on new plans capped at 15 per month, including up to 3 master files and AV1.

So if a person chooses not to renew their annual sub and then 6 months down the road decides to come back and purchase another annual sub they will only get 15 downloads per month?

I think that will essentially ensure that people who prefer downloading and leave temporarily for whatever reason will not return. I know I wouldn't as I think 15 DL's per month is far too low.

@doublevr "#p109172 we just realised that wrong encoding profile was used for the past few weeks. fixing it now.
30mpbs cap was there forever.
we are also increasing it to 50 and maybe more if things go well

Well I guess this wasn't true as the new SLR video look like crap again. It shows you clearly dont care about the subscribers feedback.

mixbets78 Yep, the new Lana Smalls file is aroud 9gb,18mbps bitrate, 1 hours 14 mins - Even this doesn't compute in Quantum Mechanics put through a theory of Dark Matter in a realm or Nothingness 🙂

'Let see how it goes'.... mate, not so well according to statistics... how about being truthfull

FFS - SLR are better than this, you guys are getting called out and you need to change course !

doublevr

[unknown] can you do screenshots or anything to see show what you mean?

mixbets78

doublevr the bitrate of the recent file of SLR is again 18mb. Do you need a screenshot for that? You should instead make available a decent file for us to enjoy the video without been blur. I payed the subscription almost a year ago to see high quality videos from SLR. Not some 9 gb file.

Your competition is improving the video quality standards and you are decreasing your quality. I suggest you do the math.

@doublevr I want to keep this civil but nobody knows who you are talking to as your forum is broken, maybe fix this first - thank you

SchnuppiLilac Well, it's a 30Mbps cap. Clearly SLR's advanced algorithms determined that 18Mbps would be entirely sufficient for that scene!

SchnuppiLilac

phiber Not sure if you're being sarcastic without you holding up the sarcasm sign for me. 'Wrong encoding profile, fixing it now' suggests that some advanced terrestrial vertebrate spotted a mistake, but apparently it still hadn’t been fixed for the scene released yesterday.

phiber

SchnuppiLilac I was being sarcastic when referring to advanced algorithms, but in the end the communication here is also just vague enough that you cannot actually draw anything definitive from it. This is how the bitrate for PT scenes in the last year has looked like, so e.g. the 30Mbps cap hasn't been relevant in quite a while (There's a 22.8 Mbps scene as far back as May). It's also interesting that were 2 PT scenes with bitrates almost as bad as the Hazel Moore one (Rika Fane & Betzz) which didn't generate as many complaints. I think the Hazel Moore scene was the perfect storm of popular performer, short-ish duration and low bitrate resulting in a tiny file size which really showcased the issue.

So there are various arguments here:

1) "I hate this because I can't download files anymore that I don't even really like but might like some day", well I think this actually is an argument in favor of the lower DL limit.
2) "I hate this because this means that they might lower again and THEN it will be really too low". Well, this makes somewhat sense. They did change the limit before so I can understand that people are afraid that they'll do it again and yeah that would be really bad. But @doublevr says he doesn't follow that logic so let's hope that that's right.
3) "This is bad for people who take a monthly subscription and then want to download everything they've not downloaded for the time that they weren't subscribing". But is that logic fair? I've always been amazed by those companies offering that, where you simply have to sub for only 1 month and then can download EVERYTHING. To me that just seems a bad deal for the company so if that's the goal, I actually think the DL limit might make sense here.
4) And then there's the 'bro guy' who puts 'bro' into every sentence. He seems to be a nice guy but I have this strong feeling he only posts when he's extremely high, so I'm not taking those posts very seriously, sorry.

phiber I think no one from SLR cares about these complaints and low bitrates and bad image of their videos... as long as there are stupid people who are buying through PPV. No doubt they are profiting from this. Lets see in the long term. I sure as hell not gonna give 7 dollars for a single video and come next month if it stays way to not provide the original file with subscription, not gonna renew the subscription.

doublevr

mixbets78 i can ban you to prove we care

mixbets78

doublevr thank you for that answer.

So let me get this straight,

When I buy an OVH server vps, I get UNLIMITED traffic for $3.40 per month. (I use it for Seedbox)

SLR @ $20 per month, can't provide that?
SLR lifetime @ $300 is 7 years worth of OVH VPS.

Furthermore, SLR is only rehosting other sites content, and they themselves only release 1-2 SLR Original videos per month. Why can't you ask these other sites to provide their own cdn links(at least of original source) and list their content for free.

If bandwidth is the problem, then remove that problem; learn how a private torrent tracker works.

If 'original source' quality is ever removed, I will subscribe to the sites that provide it directly instead.

And that's just the web services. Explain me how slr is going to make money here?

harigeharry $20 downloads, $10 scripts

harigeharry

phyuggene What do you mean with $20 downloads? And not using any scripts.
