  • Problems with "30 video downloads in 144 hours" :(

With all respect, I have to raise this issue up again... I know one thread has already been closed.

There is really problems that must been fixed. As a customer this really sucks. :/

My last download limit expired on October 7th about 03:00 AM (my local time)... I wrote it down, that's why I know it.
So my next new 144 hours (6 days) should start tomorrow October 13th about 03:00 AM (local time).

Well... Now it is October 12th and time is about 06:22 PM (local time)... so there should be about 8 hours and 28 minutes when new time window starts...

BUT BIG SURPRISE:

When I started to download my 28th video I got text:
"You have 3 downloads remaining... Your full allocation of 30 download becomes available again in 2 DAYS - 8 HOURS - 28 MINUTES"

That's not 144 hours (6 days). It's 192 hours (8 days). 🙁(

There should be a timer on the pages anyway which is visible all the time. Not only when last 3 downloads are left.

I tried to bring my opinion of these download limits in earlier discussion.

Because I'm not always in the area of a faster internet connection, my only way is to use download files.
I think I'm not only one.

I have been a customer of SLR since the beginning and proud of it...
I have been satisfied, but now this has become difficult...

Please, try to come up with compromises for download limits. 🙂

Thanks.

    I think they care... 🙂

    And I already voted with my wallet... I have purchased a LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP in November 2021. 😉

    Terms and download limits were different then...
    In that time the download limit was 50 downloads / 3 days...
    then SLR reduced the download limit to 30 / days
    And now in my case it seems to be 30 downloads in 192 hours :/

    In other respects I have been very satisfied with the SLR.
    And that is the way I want to be in the future. 🙂

      Axxipiter This is exactly why I would never buy a lifetime membership - they don't honor the terms of their contract, and with a lifetime membership, you have no recourse.

        Idk man, but I can get real trigger happy with sum downloads, it's time consuming and I hate to be going threw my files that I already spent time downloading just to delete to make space for more, but when I was hit with the 30 dl limit I was kinda hit with sum relief 🙃

        I waited like 3 days and grabbed the other videos I wanted to save, but on the real I been fine just streaming, the player works well. Skipping threw scenes by tags works very conveniently, I'm really hoping they do a streaming only subscription for a cheap price added on to the other options, I'd really enjoy that and not worry about downloading my favorite scenes I can just "heart" them for later viewing

        It's just way to much awesome vr porn here and other sites.
        plus I already have 3 full hard drives. downloading more makes my head go 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

          Of course streaming is a smart way to watch... I'm not arguing about that. It just needs a stable and fast internet connection. I myself prefer streaming when possible. 🙂

          But as I said in first post:
          "Because I'm not always in the area of a faster internet connection, my only way is to use download files.
          I think I'm not only one."

          Let me clarify a bit:
          I work in city with fast internet... but I'm not that guy who watch porn when I'm working. 😃
          My home is in the country side with poor mobile connection. So my only option is to use those hard drives.

          I mean that SLR's customer base is global, and not everywhere has the same infrastructure as in big cities...
          So streaming is not always option. That's why the possibility of downloading is important.

          And my point wasn't even waining about download limits. My point was, that it seems that instead of 144 hours, the time interval is 192 hours in my case.

              Axxipiter Because I'm not always in the area of a faster internet connection, my only way is to use download files.
              I think I'm not only one."

              I feel you on that G, slow net or no net...hell if my internet or electricity goes out I'm screwed cuz all my files are on my computer to stream to my quest. I don't keep any files on the headset

              But yeah I feel you, I'd download the videos too if I had slow internet. 🐌

                Five per day makes sense. The time-frame of 144 hours does not make sense, but since they've decided on that they NEED a counter (with remaining days and hours and minutes). I had the same problem, I think, but I remain overall satisfied with the service.

                  [deleted] You put it into words... that was exactly what i meant at the beginning. 🙂

                  (Well, I wouldn't mind if it was 7 instead of 5 / day) 😉

                    Vrbangers was 10 a day. Idk how it works now. 🤷‍♂️

                    My gripe is that I often download a file because I have a script for it that isn't available on SLR, or because I have scripted it or want to script it myself. I'm not sure that it is possible to stream from SLR while using a local script, and if it is possible, I dont know how to do it. So, every time SLR deprecates downloads, they make my sub a little less valuable.

                      Will65 we will add script streaming on SLR for your own scripts. Just upload it in your profile and it works

                        Your downloads don't all become available at once. it counts per download instance.

                        if you download a file at 1 AM, and a file at 8 PM
                        Then they will become available each at 1 AM and 8 PM

                        the "full allocation of 30 download becomes available again in 2 DAYS - 8 HOURS - 28 MINUTES" means exactly that. Full Allocation
                        If you don't download ANYthing between now and then, ALL your 30 slots will be available at that time.

                        If you would download your last remaining download slots now, it will change to "full allocation of 30 download becomes available again in 6 DAYS"
                        (Not exactly, might take a couple hours for the timer to update.)
                        It does NOT mean you now have to wait a total of 12 days.

                          Will65 @doublevr It is possible!! and works literally perfectly honestly lol. if you go to any video, there is an SLR video ID (about 4-6 digit number) at the very end of every URL. If you rename the corresponding funscript to JUST that ID number, then you upload the funscript to the INTERACTIVE folder of sidequest (assuming you are you quest, not sure how uploading local files works elsewhere), then the funscript plays perfectly with the video.

                          Example, since there is a funscript on ero for this: https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/snookered-24683

                          name the funscript "24683.funscript", then upload it into the INTERACTIVE folder, all good to go, i have scraped most of the ero VR scripts and now have about 1.5x as many streamable vids on SLR scripted using this

                              Rakly3 I read all of what you say and just resent you and this entire scrooge like way of thinking. Why can’t you focus your efforts on the very small few that actually abuse downloading, and stop treating the rest of us like children that need to be told how to spend their allowance? Surely you have ways of detecting constant, steady download patterns and then throttling or suspending such activity? Instead you mistrust all your customers… I’ll add at a tremendous cost of good will.

                                  spacepirate That is true.

                                  Well... now I have to wait till last 6th day (or 8th) to see which 30 scenes I want to download... 🙂
                                  Hope that it doesn't strain bandwitdh of SLR servers too much.

                                    argyle43 What are you talking about?
                                    I simply explained how the timer works. Every download slot has its own individual timer.
                                    The time you see in the popup is the time counting from your most recent download.
                                    Your first download will become available before that.

                                    Let's say I download 10 videos on Monday, and then 20 on Thursday
                                    The timer will then say All 30 downloads will be available again next Tuesday.
                                    BUT! The 10 download slots from Monday will be unlocked on Sunday.

                                    argyle43 Why can’t you focus your efforts on the very small few that actually abuse downloading,

                                    I don't think anyone said this has anything to do with abuse.
