Increase download limits for long-time subscribers

metichemsi

Hairsational Just look at the most recent blog post about the new codecs they are exploring outside of h.265, they specifically mention that they will provide even smaller file sizes to improve the streaming performance. I dont think they will phase out downloads anytime soon but they are for sure heavily focused on making streaming the number one priority. The one thing I hope they dont phase out are the "Original" size downloads and replace them with a bunch of compressed versions only to save space. I like having the option to download the original size footage.

metichemsi The blog post reads quite disappointing. This could be a great opportunity to increase streaming video quality while file sizes remain as they are now. But since they mention that implementation of the new codec will result in reduced bandwith costs, this seems to be off the table already.

LordCrash it’s just that there were weeks and weeks of arguments about reduced download limits and they didn’t change a thing. Just explaining why they won’t change it before it all starts up again.

What you’re suggesting is reasonable but there’s obviously a reason why they reduced it and I don’t see them changing anything. The suggestion from doubleVR for people to pay extra for what everyone used to get as part of their subscription isn’t particularly helpful either.

Please increase the download limit for the Sex toy Scripts. The current limit is too low for us who does not have high bandwidth internet connection. I had opted for the Life Membership so that I can download the videos at the highest quality and play them with sex toy scripts. But after subscription I am getting such meagre limits!

For what reason(s) are more downloads required? I normally just stream from DeoVR for DLR and use Heresphere for POVR. The whole point I bought these subscriptions was to not have to invest in expensive ssd's to store videos.

theHobbit some people don’t have great wireless speeds so they download and watch via their PC to avoid constant buffering when streaming.

SLR also have a habit of removing videos with no warning when they change their compliance thresholds so people like to keep their favourites in case they are taken down.

Also just the obvious thing where people may not want to keep paying SLR forever in order to watch certain scenes. They can download what they want and watch it as often as they like even after cancelling their subscription.

theHobbit All the answers are already there, you just need to read. It's not that hard, just try it.

And why do you even write here if you have zero interests in downloads in the first place? Makes zero sense.

spanker

had another couple FAVs just vanish....definitely NO offending stuff talked about.

maybe let people know they have a week to download it or buy it.

with the videos being deleted...would be a good thing to let people download what they want...especially if they have a year membership. maybe RAISE the rates if needed.

i am concerned with the JAV crap....once it's gone, it gone

theHobbit

petermc ok thanks - was curious.

I have a really fast internet connection so the buffering is rarely an issue for me

I vote against increasing downloads just to piss LordCrash off lol

Is there a reason why one needs to download so much on a regular basis?

Not to play ball on the negative side of this discussion, but extremely heavy users may end up costing the site more than what they make in subscription fees. For these users, the fair option would be to pay their share by purchasing individual movies if their needs go well beyond what is considered 'fair use'.

Hairsational

ZENRA Extremely heavy users would surely make up a very small % of the userbase, no?

LordCrash

Another one who cannot even read the inital post of a thread he responds to... sigh

This is really a special kind of community with the majority of users arguing against their own benefits and worrying more about the profit of Mr. DoubleVr himself than rooting for improved features and more convenience for everybody. If you don't really care why even posting here in the first place?

Thanks for ~~the support~~ nothing, guys.

theHobbit

LordCrash what are the reasons and perceived benefits again - they aren't very clear

ZENRA

LordCrash The original post was looked at before replying. Whether a subscriber is a long-term one or not, suddenly giving them massively more download capability can hurt the site's bottom line along with increasing other risk factors as noted. Thus, if a user--long-term or not--wishes to access a lot more, then buying movies separately is the fairer option. At the end of the day, certainly almost all users are not regularly (or at all) reaching the fair use limit so it's probably not in the interest of the site to bend over backwards for heavy users.

SexLikeReal is about sexual wellness, not about amassing a gargantuan locally-stored porn collection to survive a nuclear winter or two. That option does exist though and perhaps for especially long-term users, a mutual solution could be lowering the price of PPV movies by X%.

theHobbit seems like you are just here to hate on @LordCrash ? I don't always agree with the guy either but this is pathetic behavior

Ofc more downloads would be nice, VRB/Wankz/Badoink/NA all offer much more downloads (3-4x amount or limitless)
I read a thread here that mentioned Avidemux and I got into editing videos, this made me hit the download limit fast

You ask for the reason and perceived benefits, are you for real?? Because you are such a special snowflake I will answer:
reason: we want more downloads
perceived benefits: we get more downloads

At this level just don't comment honestly

theHobbit

yangbodyn seems like you are just here to hate on @LordCrash ? I don't always agree with the guy either but this is pathetic behavior

what on earth gave you that idea lol.

theHobbit

yangbodyn I think peoples bandwidth should be throttled if they call you names like snowflake lol.

yangbodyn reason: we want more downloads
perceived benefits: we get more downloads

so just a demand by the mob then? No actual tangible reason? Glad we got that sorted. 🙂

For me, the reason to wish for a higher download limit is simply that I want to watch videos from the major studios in the best quality available. I don't have the intention to collect any videos. If there is a Virtualrealporn video in 50 Mbps, I want to watch it in 50 Mbps and not in 22 Mbps reduced quality. If there is a FuckPass video in 90 Mbps, I want to watch it in 90 Mbps and not in 30 Mbps.

I think most will be able to accept that downloads cannot be unlimited. But if you look at the fair use policies of other providers, the lowest I've ever noticed was 10 per day. Therefore, I think that asking for 10 per day instead of 5 is not an excessive demand at all.

Are you trying to troll like amateur or are you just really bad at it?

sylvan

LordCrash I agree with you; more downloads wouldn't be bad; I am a lifetime subscriber and have not regretted it for 2 months; well I have only downloaded very few videos for the moment but I would like not to be so restricted not 30 downloads for 6 days: 50 downloads for 6 days and I will be satisfied; I'm not going to argue, I feel like it's not much use lol, but I'm appealing to the good heart of doublevr lol; go a good gesture for the love of the beautiful women of your site (I love them all I think)

theHobbit

Hairsational Are you trying to troll like amateur or are you just really bad at it?

there are only a few of you drama queens who are triggered by my so called 'trolling' it seems lol. you can't help yourselves.

I asked a perfectly reasonable question.
