  • You have 0 downloads remaining in this time period (144 hours) :/

State it in your advertising for new users if you're halving the content. New users can decide if they want to pay the price for that deal or not. You advertised 30 downloads every 72 hours when I paid. That's what I paid you for, that's what you need to deliver.

And don't mention that 'If we change it for one person, we have to change it sitewide for everyone' nonsense. You designed the website, forums, an app, your own studio, you're testing new innovations for passthrough and preventing going crosseyed during closeups for example.. I'm sure you can figure out how to make some users grandfathered into the 30 per 72hrs that they paid for and newer users 30 per 144hrs if they choose to pay for that after that's what's advertised to them.

Half the former amount seems like pretty drastic change in value if you bought a lifetime subscription. I get the purpose of lowering it for users that only do a one month subscription but if you have a lifetime subscription you already paid for the deal.

    Lifer1998 For lifetime subscriptions the limits should be much higher IMO. That would also put the high price into better perspective.

    After all, you need many years before you reach the green zone with a lifetime subscription - and changes like that don't encourage confidence to invest so far in the future. I would be really angry if I had a lifetime subscription and my downloads would have been cut by 50%.

      slr: "users are downloading 30 vids in 72 hours!!! they cant even watch it all!!!!"

      reality: users clicking download link because slr wont let them use a player of their own choice, skipping through a vid for a few mins to see whether its worth watching or downloading and moving on to the next vid... each time counted as a download

      SLR obviously wants to squeeze out downloaders like myself and is trying to force people to stream/rent the content. I don't d/l five scenes per day anyway but it sure seems like they are doing all they can to discourage against any downloading, i.e annoying popup reminder to use the app for streaming, reducing D/L limits etc. Not everyone has a connection that is fast enough to stream 7K and 8K videos so to enjoy them we must download. I've had an annual sub here for a few years and it's done in 6 weeks, not sure if I'll renew or not now. What's to stop SLR from reducing the download limit even more to 1 or 2 vids per day in a few months time?

        Really sorry about the change.

        We are doing our best to make sure you get the best service out ther

          erniescar69 What's to stop SLR from reducing the download limit even more to 1 or 2 vids per day in a few months time?

          It's not going to happen. Just that.

          150 videos a month is a very reasonable ratio. Not even 0.1% of users ever needs more than that.

              doublevr It's by far the lowest in the industry and you only get 150 videos if you use every download window to the max. With many studios exclusive on SLR we are getting to a point where it gets hard to download even those exclusives without a lot of micro management.

              Second lowest should be VRBangers with 10 downloads per day (if they haven't changed that in the recent years) and then VRPorn with 20 downloads per day. POVR/WankzVR has about 15 dowloads full speed and 2MB/s after that. Maybe more bandwidth reduction at 30-50 videos per day.

              BadoinkVR, 18VR, VR Cosplay X and KinkVR don't have a limit, but download links get invalid after a few hours, so you can't use download managers that easily.

              Virtual Taboo, DarkRoom and VirtualRealPorn don't have limits.

              It's not only about the total amount per year, but also about convenience. You've noticed that problem as well, that's why you did 30 per 144 hours instead of 5 per day. But even that will be annoying if we want to download more in vacation weeks or if we discover a new studio and want to catch up on past releases.

                  someoneX respectfully, what % of those 150 videos you download a month do you watch more than once? I’m just curious. That’s a lot of porn lol.

                      150 videos per month is enough for me, even though it's the biggest download limit of all sites i have been subscribed, but it's a worrying trend, because this is not a first time SLR have reduced it, what's stopping them to do it again in few months or a year.

                        RockyMtHigh As explained above, it's not about the total amount, it's about the convenience to download videos whenever you want and not following a predefined schedule. When I'm on vacation, I don't want to be limited to 30 videos per week (6 days).

                        In terms of quantities, it's the tendency that's problematic - the number of allowed downloads is gradually decreasing. This is not the first reduction and you can also see that the business interest is clearly going in the direction of mainstream streaming customers.

                            RockyMtHigh I download everything from my favorite studios, because the connection to the servers is not always reliable for the the highest quality at my location.

                            In general I watch every video I've downloaded, but skip a lot of them after a few minutes, because I don't like them. Problem is, that you don't know that from trailers or thumbnails - some of my all time favorite scenes have models I would consider as average or even below average and would have skipped them by just looking at the thumbnail or trailer.

                            Direction, acting and technical aspects are too important to judge the quality of a scene without watching it. Common problem is that girls look for direction behind the camera or need so much direction that you have cuts every minute - this results in a bad video, even if the girl has a hot body. They also use a lot of Photoshop for the thumbnails, so often girls look very different in the real scene. In other cases scaling is wrong - not just the size of the girl (that aspect got better in recent years) but of the entire room.

                              The change from 10 downloads a day to 5 downloads a day was inevitable and necessary. What was not inevitable and necessary and why SLR requires a better business manager:

                              • Making the changes without warning
                              • Not rolling them out with the monthly re-subscription period
                              • Doing so without an apology or explanation as if folks wouldn't notice
                              • Changing from a 72 to a 144 hour download window at the same time

                                  [deleted] Why inevitable and necessary though? According to one of the SLR mods above it will only impact 1% of users so what does it achieve? Even 10 videos a day was lame and significantly smaller than e.g. POVR or Naughty America.

                                  Frankly this whole thing is totally dishonest, I joined less than a week ago at 10 vids per day and would never have bothered at 5 vids a day given the price. Thank you for your earlier post about how Epoch and Credit Card companies deal with this sort of thing. I think I'll be contacting Epoch.

                                      If SLR is having problems with bandwidth here are ways to rectify the issue

                                      • Change the Studio File options from 150 GB to 40 GB. I've never downloaded anything above 40 GB and am not alone.
                                      • Create peak and off-peak downloading hours. It works for the power companies.
                                      • Reduce the top download speed, but do so sensibly. There appears to be throttling at some points for 300 KBS. Few users would notice a change at 2 MB, but 300 KBS is so slow that every user will notice.
                                      • Make a deal with Internet Download Manager so that users can have access to the software necessary to use the site and not be forced to download the same files over and over again. Some files I have downloaded five times because each time there is an error and corruption. IDM mitigates the issue, but the problem is still there.
