Download managers do not work effectively on this site because the links are only active for 1 hour.
This is from their FAQ:
"My Download Manager Isn't Working
Our new members area experience was designed to be viewed on every device we could get our hands on. Unfortunately the way the Android operating system works with its video player, we had to do some crafty authorization techniques to make our site work on Android phones, tablets, the Chromebook, as well as all other implementation.
One of the trade offs is that our download links are only valid for 60 minutes. So if you use your download manager to queue a download for while you're sleeping, that will no longer work. We apologize for the inconvenience. If Android ever fixes this issue, we'll be sure to roll back to a more standard way of linking."
BTW I don't accept their excuse because other sites work around it and Android don't require them to expire their links witin 1 hour. 24 hours would be reasonable and would be an easy change if they genuinely want to support download managers.
Also I think the Site Details for the TBP review need to be amended to note that Download managers don't work properly.
I've had Alison Angel sat in my bookmarks for years without ever joining, just checked out her tour again and its showing a couple of updates with release dates being shown as within the last week. I see there was a previous comment about her retiring so does anybody recognise if this is old content being rotated or has she come out of retirement?
*Edit* Just noticed ftvgirlsonline.com has a separate listing here on TBP/PU. This is the same site and the price is $29.95, not the $24.95 listed. Looks strange that the site isn't listed as owned by the same company as FTV. I'm pretty sure it's just a mobile/tablet version of the site.
I joined FTV through a promo ad on Twistys, I think it was Twistys. Instead of sending me to ftvgirls.com where the regular site is, it sent me to ftvgirlsonline.com. The content was all the same, but the site did seem faster and less clunky, but I don't know if this is like a FTV new version that they are testing out or if it's just their own clone of their site. I'm holding out hope that it's a new version and they are going to work more on the navigation and download issues.
I'm just writing a quick comment and will do a full review soon on this gem, I'm simply loving porn at the moment and discovering I have a real fondess for some of the American girls, I have dipped into to American porn for ages but always preferred the beauty and less tattoo sister from Europe. But ever since watching a few movies at sweetheartvideos and their network I've got a real fondness for some of these women and even with tattoos (never thought I'd say this, still wished they just didn't do it and I don't think I've seen a girl without one but thats reality I guess in the US) still to hear dialogue has been great and something I've found myself really like.
Just watching Aubrey and Nikki movie and OMG, simply amazing Aubrey Belle I think it is (the brunette) is just as cute as a girl can be and reminds me of Lexie Belle when she first started, god if only she didn't have that tattoo lol. Watching them though in public going down on each other, unbelievable, beyond hot.
I so wish FTV would start to do more lesbian stuff as I think they make such great lesbian scenes which includes lots of fun, especially the ones in the last few years 2007 onwards.
More like 1010% Cute, almost want to join just for her
Just checking out FTV girls updates and this girl Riley was added in March, a very rare beauty, got a smile that will melt anyones heart, so cute its beyond words. Such a shame though when I saw the tatoos on her back, I'm not off her totally as she is amazing from the front and will have to join soon here again as there is a few other cuties been added since I was last a member, wish they'd do more lesbian stuff though as they are awesome, especially the public nudity stuff, my fav.
Now, it has been two years since I had joined the site and I still have some pictures, but I was wondering if they have the same sizes for all photos. For example I have some pictures of Georgia Jones' pictures and some are 2000x3000, but I don't have any of Franziska in that sizes.
After about 10 or 12 sets, I feel like I've seen it all. The girls are beautiful, but shake it up a bit! A little investment in server equipment would also be appreciated. Faster download speeds could really help this site stand out.
Since there's little that hasn't been covered already via reviews and this source, I'll just act as another number to add on the positive side of FTV Girl's ledger.
Good softcore sites aren't all too plentiful -- at least the kind I like. Happily, this one had the right stuff. The girls gave me the right moves, they talked the talk and walked the walk (figuratively speaking).
It's been a while since I was a FTV member, subsequently, judging from these incoming accolades I'm observing from our seasoned PU-PROs...I'm tempted to take another look.
I dont know what we european clients must do in the future to join a site , pay mutch more , dont think so .
Here the same problem , advertising 29,95 dollars but once on the sign-up page it is 29,95 euro's , send a mail to cc-bill what answer did i get . You must send a mail to the webmaster , i'm getting realy sick and tired from it al.
send a mail to the webmaster , stil no answer .
I dont understand why the webmasters want to work with such payment sites , i hope they realise they are losing a lot of clients .
Since several reviews seemed to complain of poor download speeds I just wanted to note that their download speeds have been excellent for me so far: 1.2 MB/sec.
FTV has announced on their site that they will be posting a full hardcore video at the end of every month beginning 1/31/10. It will be interesting to me to see how I react to the first one because FTV is the only SC site I have stayed with for a very long time.
If FTV's quality and unique videography style remains as outstanding as it has been, I think we'll be in for a treat.
I just joined this site and I have to say the navigation and design are bothering me. I don't like to waste any time when I'm trying to get pr0n.
Yeah we get it, you're going for the whole magazine thing.
At the very least they could make the thumbnails of the models bigger. I don't want to miss anything.
Over the last 6 months there have only been 3 extreme updates on the site, and of those a couple of them aren't even that extreme. For fans of that aspect of the site, including me, it's a real downer lately.
I know that FTV has HD quality downloads for the videos. However, when I was a member in the past, all of the videos were broken up into 3-5 clips. Are the HD videos still downloaded in that way? Or has FTV started using full-length video downloads?
If the videos are still in parts, do they provide a zip file? Or do you have to download each one separately?
Alison Angel has retired. According to the webmaster of FTV (where Alison got her start) she will no longer be modeling and is going to school full time. All of the shooting for FTV (First Time Videos) and Alison Angel are done out of Phoenix and Alison has moved to Ohio. Even though her site site will no longer be updating it will remain up indefinitely according to the webmaster.
FTV Girls was one of the first porn sites that I ever joined. Since then, it has grown tremendously. However, the site has not kept up with the growth. Everything is a little too disorganized and lists are everywhere (updates list, models list, etc). The site really needs a good search engine so that it is easier to find the specific niche that one is looking for. For example, some categories could include fisting, exhibitionism, squirting, or big toys since each is a featured type of scene. However, there isn't any real way to find out what is in each scene without clicking through. A good search engine would go a long way to bringing me back to FTV Girls.
A word of caution if you want to buy their DVDs. I used to order from them every now and then and delivery was really slow, but reliable. On average it took 3-4 weeks before delivery. Late last year I placed an order from them after they outsourced the DVD business to DVDHotties. I got a shipment confirmation within a few days but it took nearly 4 weeks for the discs to be delivered and one of them had the wrong content burned onto it. After a few emaila & calls, a promise to get me the right DVD and 2 months of waiting, I gave up. Stick with the online content, it's top notch (except having to hear "3, 2, 1" over and over again).
FTVGirls has started releasing videos in HD (1440x1080) at a 8256kbs bit rate in the WMV format. AFAIK, this is the highest resolution available for porn on the net. And, the resultant image is almost like being there... :)
Mind you, this does come at a cost. For instance, the third video release totals a little over 79 minutes in length but is 4,563 MB in size.
I understand the site owner's decision not to go with a full HD resolution (1920x1080). Wide screen monitors (24" or larger) aren't ubiquitous. I'd be interested to learn of the viewing experience of users with 22" monitors (1680x1050) or CRT monitors at 1600x1200.
Should this new format prove, for some reason, to be problematic, users can still get DIVX videos at 352x256 with a bit rate of 64kbs and WMV videos at 720x480 (widescreen) with a bit rate of 3155kbs. It should be noted that the lower rate of WMV videos is an increase over that of previously offered WMV videos at 640x480 with a bit rate of 2079kbs.
Also of interest, the daily download limit has been raised to 15GB.
So, it seems that, once again, FTVGirls has leap-frogged the competition and succeeded in demonstrating it's commitment to providing customers an experience of superior quality.
