Hi,
The download limitation shouldn't be shown ONLY on the sign up page and should be in the Tearms of services. The Terms of services and the F.AQ. doesn't indicate any form of limitation for download limits. The General page is showing "fair-use policy, limited to 30 videos per 3 days." https://www.sexlikereal.com/help/general
So, SLR is not providing the service I sign up for and SLR didn't sent any email advertising a change in the Terms of services or ''general page''.
Is SLR planning to keep the 144 hours or change it back to "fair-use policy, limited to 30 videos per 3 days."?

      One difference that more users of this site might regard is that of the SLR "fair use" (which, again, means something different in law and should be changed) and that of POVR.com, their main competition.

      Unlike SLR, POVR allows UNLIMITED downloads. HOWEVER, what they are actually offering is much less than SLR and 30 downloads per 144h period...

      POVR does not support STUDIO files. Every video that you can "download" from them has passed through their algorithm, which destroys the quality of the film -- in most cases, the films are lower quality than what you'd stream here.

      Also, SLR provides a method for users to download multiple files without standing near the computer, unlike POVR. If you add POVR "files" to a download manager it will freeze after a certain amount of time -- often users can't even download big films (20 GB or thereabouts).

      So, there's the praise, and here's the SLR criticism.

      144h is just plain stupid. That's the reason that lots of their content is now circulating all over darkweb shares and torrents. Hackers from places like Turkey break user passcodes and periodically download just a couple of files to share on their sites. Users here don't figure out what's going on because there's no reasonable measure to know how many files are left in the queue. Folks forget the number -- most folks who subscribe and don't go anywhere near that high limit....

          povr downloads have lower quality than slr streaming?

          not sure what the heck you smokin but povr uses much higher bitrates than slr for both streaming and downloads sooo your claim aint true.

              I think he means that SLR usually includes the huge original uncompressed file from the studio for us to download and is suggesting POVR don’t. Not sure if that is correct or not.

              If you stream in a normal browser via Delight XR (POVR) or Deo WebVR (SLR) at a max of 1920p, then the 1920p file sizes at POVR might indeed be larger. But why would you stream SLR videos at 1920p if you can have them at 8K in DeoVR?

              As far as I am aware, POVR does not work in DeoVR, so I am not sure if you can stream POVR videos above 1920p. POVR say that they do not endorse third-party apps.

              One example to compare file sizes:
              FuckPassVR, Summer Breeze in OC:
              POVR: 8K h.265 14 GB
              SLR: 8K h.265 9 GB, Original 8K h.265 27 GB

                SchnuppiLilac POVR does work in DeoVR for higher quality streaming and on Heresphere. Thanks for the example of what I mean with the download files though. SLR offers higher quality downloads albeit with some huge file sizes.

                    [deleted] not sure what your reasoning is regarding piracy. Surely allowing more downloads would lead to more piracy, not less? Am I missing something? Genuinely curious btw, not trying to be an asshole.

                        petermc How do you make POVR work in DeoVR? The DeoVR app for Quest 2 says the website is not compatible. You can still access it but the videos stream only in 1920p flat. Am I missing something?

                            Their films were unwatchable for more than a month as they adjusted their algorithm. Every third frame there would be a glitch of several milliseconds. The films looked choppy and unwatchable.

                            Don't trust me, just compare the size of the files... SLR shares the original studio files submitted by member studios. POVR takes what they receive and compresses and breaks the films in many cases. Films on SLR are twice the size of films on POVR. Only the films from Wanks look fine on POVR, because POVR is linked to Wanks through partnership.

                            Oh wait, I forgot you can't check the file sizes because only members who've signed up for their service can see the sizes over at POVR... Trust me, some of the films they have are half the size of what you find here. Literally, half the size. Maybe that compression doesn't matter to you, but some users prefer watching films that don't look degraded from compression. I mean, I think that's why many of us pay for porn rather than using, say, pornhub, or the nasty tube services...

                                Users forget how many films they've downloaded when the timeframe is 144h.

                                Hackers use various tools to gain access to MANY accounts. And then they download one or two films each visit for their supporters, and the original account holder is none the wiser.

                                  They encourage users to "download" films to their PC and then upload the films to their device, rather than streaming. Honestly, while I was a member there I didn't bother with any direct streaming. There were a few films that made their $10 Black Friday membership a good deal for me... I was very disappointed only to be able to see those films in abysmal quality. For comparison, the 6K films I watched there, and downloaded, look worse than the JAV films on here, which I stream.

                                    SchnuppiLilac POVR: 8K h.265 14 GB
                                    SLR: 8K h.265 9 GB, Original 8K h.265 27 GB

                                    See that difference. POVR = 14 GB. SLR = 27 GB. ... HOWEVER, this isn't the best example, because FuckPassVR is a great studio, in that they have top-notch cameras. Compare, say, the videos on 3D Pickup (https://www.sexlikereal.com/studios/3d-pickup). The POVR algorithm makes all of those films unwatchable. The videos are fine to watch from the Studio file on SLR...

                                        [deleted] Wankz and Povr are fine with a high bitrate and good quality in my experience. They do limit their resolution for all movies to 7680px though. Even though Vrhush, VrAllure, FhckpassVr and others provide 8192px. That's the only one I noticed a significant degradation in quality. However, I tend to watch only wankz and Povr on that site anyways.

                                        Really nice SLR provides the originals for those studios as the quality can be truly amazing when everything is focus and lit right.

                                          SchnuppiLilac you firstly go to POVR site in the DeoVR browser and log in using your username and password. You then find a video you want to watch and click on the download link for that scene at whatever quality you want (7K, 6K etc.) as if you wanted to download it to your headset. When you click to download it, it doesn’t actually download, it streams the scene in the headset.

                                          This method actually works for most sites by the way, not just POVR.

                                              comparing slr "original" downloads to povr downloads is an apples to oranges comparison. they are not equivalent. an apples to apples comparison would be slr regular downloads vs povr downloads... and in that matchup povr beats slr for quality.

                                              btw i watched the latest 3d pickup vid on povr and slr (both regular and original) and it wasnt unwatchable on either site. the biggest issue i saw is that the studio filmed the scene at 30 fps and did a bad job at frame interpolation so its not completely smooth... but that issue affects all versions (povr download, slr regular download, and slr "original" download) identically.

                                                  spacepirate it’s not really apples to oranges. We’re just saying that SLR offers you higher quality downloads as they have the original file for most scenes whereas POVR don’t offer that option. Granted some of those original files are crazy big but they do offer the highest quality download available whereas POVR only offer a significantly compressed version.

                                                  No comment on the streaming side of things!

                                                    petermc Thanks a lot! I actually wanted to try this method but could not find the button with the three horizontal lines to hide the left hand menue which was covering the downloads tab. I have realized now that the button is where it should be but is invisible (probably because of black lines on black background).

                                                      [deleted] For that example I would clearly prefer the 14GB file. 27GB is an oversized original file, not optimized for end users and 9GB is optimized for streaming. 14GB looks like a good bitrate for download users, without checking the exact details.

                                                      Only for a few studios on SLR the original files are worth using, as they have a good bitrate intended for end users - for example SinsVR.

                                                      Some other corrections: You can stream full resolution on POVR through the prerfered Heresphere player and downloads with Internet Download Manager work totally fine and I can download 30 videos per day instead of 30 per 6 days. The first 15 full speed, the rest with bandwidth throtteling, but still fast enough to complete those 15 files within that day. If you keep downloading after 30 videos you get heavy throtteling.

                                                      And yes they have/had a bug with their encoding - but as you said, it's a bug and not the intended quality.

                                                      Your hacker story also only exisits in your fantasy. Maybe some script kiddies "hacked" a few accounts with weak passwords, but there is no big Turkish SLR hacking szene...
