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.

This is my impression as well, the market is saturated and not growing anymore. Moreover, no major player is joining the party. Brazzers was supposed to enter the adult metaverse as part of joi.city in Nov 2023 - that never happened and joi.city doesn't even exist anymore. Adult Times has produced 13 original videos within 6 months and still only has a total library of less than 500. The number of VR cams is the same as it was two years ago. And there is no VR iPhone on the horizon that would suddenly boost the number of potential users.
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
ramdy83 has issues with centering the UI in a place
Uninstalling DeoVR and reinstalling the latest update that came out last week fixed that issue for me
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.
Hairsational Well honestly I don't find that much video's worth downloading anymore on this website. I mostly like the SLR originals and sometimes something from a smaller studio. I actually wish I saw more than 30 hot video's in a month on this site but honestly, not getting anywhere close.
Hairsational these are going to love our downloads booster plan.
doublevr 3x times download booster for active sub users will be like $39.99/mo.
How does the booster plan work exactly? Monthly sub with 30 downloads $30, monthly sub with 90 downloads $40?
SchnuppiLilac upgrade to monthly sub.
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
Hairsational the rumor has it more sites are considering pull a plug on downloads. SLR is going to be your best offer as it always is
doublevr the rumor has it more sites are considering pull a plug on downloads.
SLR? 
Other than sites owned by VRBangers, I seriously doubt any other site is even considering it. Badoink maybe in the distant future. Others, no chance.
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.
harigeharry Bleak prospects for the future. Once everyone will have access to AVP-like display quality, there will be nothing left but reduced bitrate streaming. When VRB got rid of downloads, those 10K/12K videos they made became (officially) unavailable before anyone could actually watch them.
