| Pros: |
An insane amount of movies to download.
Nice previews of the next few weeks updates.
Video quality is great on the new videos.
A lot of attractive amateur models.
Exclusive content.
Discount through TBP. |
| Cons: |
Poor site navigation.
Can only download one movie at a time.
Downloads are not very fast.
No full movie options.
No video previews for videos EXCEPT for future update videos, and videos on preview area of non member section. Explained below.
Minimal thumbnail pics for videos.
High price. |
| Bottom Line: |
So I am literally slowly downloading from this site right now and thought I would write a review. Yes, you can only download 1 video at a time no matter what, download manager or no. And there are no full videos, so you have to download every part (usually 8-10) one at a time per video.
Each video does NOT have a preview video. Yes, when you go through the preview section of the NON members area, you see preview videos of the recently released movies. In the members section, once a video has been released, there is no longer a video preview, only about 8-10 thumbnail pics to give you an idea of what a full dvd movie contains. There are preview videos of the soon to be released movies on the site (usually 3), but as I said, once they are released, preview vids are gone. Why? That is the most frustrating thing about this site because it's a total guessing game whether or not to download a movie. When you have 1 single picture representing 10+ minutes of video, there is no way to tell whether it's worth your time to download or not. Even then, it took me over 2 hours to download one movie one file at a time, and that's the only option you have.
This site has amazing potential, but it is not fully realized. There is an unreal amount of original content, and quality content, but the navigation and downloads are so cumbersome that it really takes so much away. A few fixes and this site could be great, but as it is, it is only somewhat above average. |

| Pros: |
-some beautiful girls
-some good hardcore scenes
- has a definite personality
- most of the guys are on the young side, not just the girls |
| Cons: |
- one download at a time, folks. Download managers don't seem to work, and if you try to even download 2 scenes at once, they slow down to nothing.
- Can't even browse the site while you're downloading
- Have to login every half hour or so |
| Bottom Line: |
If this looks like your thing, just be prepared to spend a LOT of time and energy to get these scenes.
[Personally, I just don't think it's worth it with so many other good sites out there. BUT, don't get me wrong, it's only frustrating because there's a LOT of good content here, I just won't be able to get that much of it in the month I'll be a member for.]
OK, I've had a few days to watch some of these videos, and I've changed my mind - they ARE worth the trouble. Some really great scenes here, esp. Best of Seventeen Series. I recommend.
[You're best off going for the movies that offer the "full" resolution instead of "high", there's a big difference.] But some of the older scenes, only offered in "high" are great scenes, and at 600k they look fine, and some others say "high" not "full", but play at 2000k and look incredible!
A couple of tips: IE seems to work much better than Firefox; If you start to download and get a connection speed of 100k or less, cancel and start again, you should get 250-500. Just have to hit it at the right time, I guess.
UPDATE: If you're joining, be sure to get: teeny hot spots 2 scenes 4, 5 and 14; young teens 02 and 06; All the Best of Seventeen. |

| Pros: |
The higher quality vids are pretty good at >2000kbps.
Subject material excellent - I'm personally a big fan so I cannot fault it.
Some vintage stuff from the '70s etc on the site also.
Updates only ONE video per week - look to be at highest available quality. |
| Cons: |
Club Seventeen have literally thousands of DVD's across a number of series. Unfortunately - on this site you don't get access to more than a fraction of them.
Example: Teeners from Holland, has over 100 editions but on this site you get access to FOUR....yes "4". So, only around 5% per cent of the vids are available at 2000kbps. All the others - yes 95% (!) are at a measly 600 kbps - not even worth bothering with - although a few are at 960kbps.
No option for full DVD downloads. |
| Bottom Line: |
Even with only around 25 DVD's worth downloading - at 2 hours each on average, that makes for around 50 hours of teen heaven for 30 Euros - not bad really. So it's worth joining for the one month.
I'll leave it for 12 months until I rejoin - by then another 50 or so of their collection, should be available at the decent resolution of 2000 kbps - making the effort worthwhile.
Also, downloading is a bit of a hastle - the number of scenes each DVD is split into is too large for it not to be a pain in the ass - typically each vid is split into 10 - 15 micro-scenes.
This can also be a little misleading given the editing style of some of the series' whereby 4 or 5 "activities" are shown occurring simultaneously - so being selective as to which scenes you download can leave you with incomplete scenes essentially.
Better would be to allow the full download in one go.
Finally, before updating with new titles each week, perhaps they should concentrate on making the existing titles available at the highest resolution. When only 5% of the vids you look closer at, are at a decent resolution, it becomes very annoying.
Follow-Up:
Having joined again after 6 months, they are clearly adding a new full DVD (90 minutes) each week....all at around 2MBps bitrate - which is OK.
Must say I still love this stuff...and paying 30 Euros (around $40) for 26 DVD's each 6 months is is no problem for me.
As the proportion of Higher Quality stuff is now increasing rapidly, I have increased the score accordingly. |

| Pros: |
+ lots of content (100 Gig+)
+ all vids downloadable now
+ video format for newest movies 720x540 |
| Cons: |
- only the newest vids are highres - older are 320x240 |
| Bottom Line: |
It's quite a nice site. Fortunately you can download the newest vids at a high quality of 720 by 540 wmv. There are no download limits, but it is only possible to download one file at the same time. Updates are announced in the members area and seem to be weekly. |

*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.
