MozzerllaRick streaming may be slow for you but couldn’t you just use it to skim through a scene to see if it’s worth downloading rather than downloading everything? Then just keep your downloads for the scenes that you really want. If your internet is too slow to stream, I’d think it would take forever to download 30 scenes.
Problems with "30 video downloads in 144 hours" :(
petermc streaming on low internet connection and skipping to scene is lag - zero logic for your skip to the part logic.
You think downloading is more problem? You obviously don't have slow internet with that logic.
Downloading slow = a complete lagless scene you can watch anytime.
Download for lagless scene vs streaming for a part that has a wait time = download wins.
Obvious you have no clue what low connection on streaming is like, with shared internet.

I’m not trying to argue. I get that watching a downloaded scene with no lag is better than streaming if it keeps freezing. I just thought, if your internet connection is that bad, it would take forever to download these huge files and maybe, just doing some minimal streaming admittedly with some lagging, could allow you to weed out some scenes don’t appeal to you. This would then reduce the number of scenes that you need to download.
I’m not any kind of expert though on internet connections, you’re right.
petermc you say you're not arguing but you're baselessly putting 'lag on watching scenes', as an option - waiting 5 minutes for a stream of a bit of a scene is a buzzkill.
How many times do you watch a movie while streaming? You're saying a person watches only one time that is wrong. You download a fav movie you don't need internet connection and you keep that movie.
How is your logic about a long download for keeping a film? You only download once not 100 times or stream 100 of times.
So explain how one full download defeats streaming a fav movie 100 times internet download? Explain what happens when a movie is removed?
I Can answer these. You are making arguements that are pointless. 1 download takes a day then you keep forever - not a bad thing is it?
It really doesn't matter how slow it downloads, it's not like I am watching the download. I like to load up a download manager, in my case FDM, with the videos I want to download then go to sleep or do other stuff. The next day they are downloaded.
Streaming to check the videos out doesn't work well for me. I look at the contact sheets that show the whole scene, I don't even rely/trust the screenshots and decide from that if I want to download. Streaming on the website is no use since its just on my flat screen anyway, but the lag from waiting every time I click in a new spot on the video is painful. I don't have patience for that. I don't really see a viable way to do it in the SLR app and still come back to desktop and download without a lot of hassle. It would just take so much time to find each video, wait for it to buffer, skip ahead, wait for it to buffer, skip ahead, wait for it to buffer, etc. vs opening up 10 tabs with the days new videos that are interesting to me, checking the contact sheets, hitting download and walk away. Or lately, saving the tab open in another window until SLR lets me download again. If I am strapping on my headset to sit and watch VR videos, they need to be ready to go.
Sorry my internet sucks. My ISP says I might get Fiber in 3-4 years. So, maybe by the middle of this decade I could stream. Starlink might be an option for me sometime in the future too. But even then, I still want downloads for my porn.
Punksxc You’re totally misunderstanding what I am saying. I am not saying streaming is better than downloading, especially if you have constant lagging. That’s no way to watch a scene. I’m also not suggesting people don’t watch scenes more than once or want to keep them. I’m not part of some anti-downloading agenda, I have 10TB of VR porn downloaded on external hard drives for posterity. They’re scenes I really enjoy that I want to keep and also want to have access to if I stop subscribing to whatever site they came from.
I was simply making a suggestion to someone who, it seems to me, doesn’t just download scenes he loves, but downloads a large volume of scenes just to check them out and then deletes whatever he’s not into.
Most of us have certain likes and fetishes we look for in a scene plus we also look at visual quality, scaling, distances etc. Whilst you may not want to stream the scene in full due to lagging or other reasons, I’m saying it can be a useful tool to skim a scene and rule it out from your download list.
Just using my own preferences as an example (everyone else will have different ones). If the girl looks giant sized, I won’t like the scene and a stream will show you that within seconds so I can rule it out. Is the girl hot, am I into her? You’ll usually know that within a few minutes. Does doggy style look good? You’ll know that in a couple of minutes. All these things will likely affect whether I want to download that scene and can be checked out quickly on a stream and ruled out.
I’m not telling anyone what to do and I’m not telling anyone whether or not they should be mad about the change in download limit. That’s up to the individual.
I was simply making a suggestion that streaming is not all bad even if it lags. It can be a useful tool to very quickly check if a scene is worth a download in the first place and therefore help you download all of your favourite scenes whilst staying within the limits and save the time of downloading a load of scenes that aren’t any good. That’s how I use streaming mostly but again, it’s just a suggestion, just trying to help.
Luckily for me (or unluckily depending on how you see it) I am not a big fan of most of the stuff that gets released. It probably takes 4 months for me to download 30 scenes, not 6 days! That’s purely down to me doing a very quick quality check on streaming before deciding though. If I downloaded every scene that I just wanted to check out, it would be a lot more.
Anyway, just to repeat, I come in peace and am a staunch defender of being able to download scenes. Was just trying to make a helpful suggestion.
MozzerllaRick no worries. I wasn’t sure exactly how bad the lagging was for you and whether it was viable to use streaming to check a scene out quickly. Sounds like it’s not for you so my suggestion wouldn’t work.

petermc you wrote 'I was simply making a suggestion to someone who, it seems to me, doesn’t just download scenes he loves, but downloads a large volume of scenes just to check them out and then deletes whatever he’s not into.' - That is one guy you know but not the whole community or worth generalizing the community. Unless you ask the community that one guy doesn't represent the community so that statement is inadequate.

who stated his bad internet connection and his reasons to download - with 'no worries' to accept he has to download. I disagree with your streaming is not bad as people like MMozzerllarick exist - there are 2 types of people that use internet the bad internet connection users and the ones that don't share internet or have decent internet. If the bad internet users entered SLR and saw a disclaimer saying no downloads they would of not payed for a site - but more likely just pirate. I pay for sexlikereal cause they sold downloads not 'we are your parents' logic.
You replied to MozzerllaRick with a 'no worries' cause he has bad internet and downloading is the best solutions.
Your suggestion would be fine if people that payed SexLikeReal all had decent connections. I don't and I share internet in my household.
I say this again customers pay SexLikeReal after reading the site disclaimer about downloading, customers could anytime pirate. To alienate the downloader with bad internet does more harm than good. You say want you want but 'highlight' - rich internet connection community 'not' every internet connection community - shared internet community and low connection internet are excluded from anti download debates.
30 Vids is still fine, but less would be absolutely not okay. I have to download the Videos, 'cause my Internet is to weak for streaming. Also, why 144hrs? Why not making it 35 Vids within' 168 hrs or easier why not reset the Countdown Sitewide at the same Time? Mondays, new Week, new 35 Downloads

petermc If the girl looks giant sized, I won’t like the scene and a stream will show you that within seconds so I can rule it out.
If the scaling is wrong, Heresphere can fix that in some cases. So you won't know by just testing the video by streaming in Deo/SLR, if it may be still a worthwhile scene.

FritzGerlach can I ask you a question fellow bad internet connection payed customer: If Sexlikereal the website said 'we offer 0 downloads' - would you pay for a subscription to Sexlikereal? Taking in account bad internet connection.
I know my answer and it would be no.
FritzGerlach reset the Countdown Sitewide at the same Time? Mondays, new Week, new 35 Downloads
A site-wide weekly reset would be better, as then the first download wouldn't have to be started on the first day. Even better would be 150 downloads per month. Everything else only has the aim of users losing unused downloads.
Punksxc that’s fine, I really wasn’t talking to the whole community or generalising the whole community, I was initially responding to one post and making a suggestion to that person. He has since clarified that his internet speed is so slow that it’s not viable to do what I was suggesting and that’s perfectly fine. Sounds like you are in the same boat. Hope you both can find a way to download what you need.
