Downloads plan revamp

Today: "If you're regularly streaming and watch PT your download limits are going to be much bigger"
T+3 months: "Data shows all users love streaming and PT. We're ramping up our PT production and reducing downloads to benefit all subscribers"

2 year on --> Some heavy users are streaming full 100+ videos/weekly. We therefore reduce streaming to 30 full streams/per week or x amount if minutes. Sounds unlikely - well so did download limits some years ago.

Hairsational fenderwq Maybe. I hope so. That's why I'm still around. I think VR has huge potential.

It's just I heard the same years ago. 'VR porn grows. Just a few more years.'

But only time will tell. The tendencies I see with capping downloads or removing it almost completely seems to me more like a cut cost issue because of pressed finances. But I don't rightly know. Just how it seems.

Don't like this trend but not much worth downloading nowadays anyways.

I download a lot more now that the steam deovr runs awful and has issues with centering the UI in a place you can look forward at. So I download and use another player at times.

So maybe this will be my goodbye

Is there more information on the SLR drive that was mentioned. Will it cost extra? How much space? Will I be able to put non SLR scenes In there and play them through Deovr? I'm kind of a tech dummy so any info for what this will be used for is requested.

doublevr So, botters will farm long-term 'street cred' then only download a 'collective' list to do that one 'thing' that is highly discouraged...?
I like the idea of long-term credibility making the site easier to download from but, either way abuse will still happen... also using a 'good' VPN will still break downloads so they never finish, like now.

doublevr What I am trying to say: If I am willing to pay for more downloads and a monthly sub to another aggregator is (much) cheaper than the SLR booster and has more benefits (= exclusive content, 600 or more downloads) at the same time, then it will be an easy decision. So if SLR wants my money, the price for the booster needs to be lower than a monthly sub somewhere else.

If SLR want to limit download bandwidth, perhaps a review of the specs for "ORIGINAL 8K" high bitrate files should be considered.
Some of these can be very large files and whilst I appreciate the quality, anything with a bitrate over 60Mb/sec will be hard to pick on a retail headset.
On my Q3 using network storage, 60Mb/sec is a good upper limit for playing files without buffering. There must be a good reason that this is what CzechVR use as a standard bitrate for their 8K files......

Some studios and videos disappear from SLR with little or no notice.
N.B. on my SLR feed today (1st July) advised MariaMartinezVR will leave on the 27th June (a few days ago), so has completely disappeared already, with no ability to download anything that may have been of interest.
Prior warning would always have been nice!

doublevr I can't see downloaders choosing that over a lower priced sub at another VR site with unlimited downloads like POVR or BadoinkVR

Philthy181 Nooooooo I'd definitely vote against lowering bitrate!! Especially on the AVP it DOES make a difference! Nothing gets close to the SLR originals in terms of video quality. For me it's actually THE reason I signed up here, high quality video's.
