Initial thoughts on the site

I weighed all the pros and cons listed here and at TBP and took the plunge here today. It seems like a decent value but it continues the trend of studios not doing their brand any justice by having a mediocre site.

The biggest sin here, as noted by several reviewers, is that there are a lot of broken links. Exotics4me noted that you can get around that because sometimes the link to a lower resolution file is still there, but my experience is that if one link is bad, the others are too. There are whole DVDs where no scene has an active link. When that occurs a pop-up appears saying that it�s a dead link with a clickable link to report the problem. But, surprise, surprise, THAT link is broken too. I�m still working on some of the first DVDs posted when the site opened, so I�m hoping to see some improvement as I work my way through the site. But for now, I�m seeing maybe 10% of all links to be dead, which is far more than should be acceptable. Especially since the problem has existed for a long time.

As for speeds, I�m not having any problems there at all.

I�ll post a full review once I�ve downloaded and viewed more, but it does appear that this is another studio that sees the internet as a second-tier way to get their product to the customer.

Extremely slow download speeds in their three sites.

I'm talking about 17 kps. There are some files that you can download at over 200 kps (which isn't something to write home about); but, for the most part, you get lousy download speeds.

Aside from that the site is great. It is worth joining if the aforementioned doesn't bother you too much.

Does this site release all the 3rd Degree films?

I've been disappointed with quite a many studio sites that release ojnly part of the material through the site or just keep a slow steady trickle of updates coming through so that a whole film takes 4-5 updates.

Do these guys release their films at one go and when they come out on DVD/Bluray as well?

Broken HD content

Seems to me that all HD Videos here are pretty broken. No matter which player or computer I use, the videos start to freeze after a couple of minutes.

Can anybody confirm this?

1 Month Membership - $19.95

It looks like the price has decreased permantly? As of today April 03 at least. It was USD30, now: USD20! Real good value!

Trial: The trial is not running anymore, I have checked back a couple of times the last 3 weeks and no trials at all.

EDIT: April 13 update: now USD 30 again, but trial is back.

Defunct Downloads!

Over the past four days or so I have been having serious issues with downloads at the third movies network. At first, the issue was only with downloading the hi-def movies but now it's with every file. I've tried to troubleshoot the problem by disabling my DL manager, using a different web browser, etc. with no luck! Now when I click to DL my browser completely freezes up!

I'm not going to breakout in expletives here, but I am fucking pissed!!! This network has some of the highest quality movies on the net, but what good is it when you can't watch them? Really?

I've submitted several complaints over the last few days with NO response. I would ask for a refund but with the customer support at this site, what chance do I have? Oh well, I paid for a month and got about fifteen days worth of a functioning site.

Is this just an isolated case? Anyone else a member at Third having issues?

Hi Def Downloads Have Slowed Down

As of yesterday downloading HD quality content on the Third Movies network has slowed to a crawl. I'm currently seeing DL speeds of 100-350 kb/s, making the enormous 1GB+ files take well over an hour to complete. Also, it appears DL managers are no longer being supported. However, this slow down does not seem to affect any lesser quality file types as they remain at a speedy 1.8 - 2 mb/s.

Any other members experiencing this?

I submitted my complaint/question to customer support, but for now it's poor quality vids for me....sucks!

Full Trial

I like Third, Zero Tolerance and their little network of sites including: ZTOD.com, 3rd, BlackIce. I was a member for one month and I now see that a 2 day full trial is available!

It looks like all three sites are included also in the trial.

Worth checking out, I might take the opportunity to re-join for a cheap trial and download the best recent updates.

2 Day Trial - $3.95
Full Access Trial Membership - HD included

Great Site - many of the older issues seem to have been resolved

I would have written a complete review, but the others have covered almost everything, so I'll just add a couple of updates.

DRM - there are still some files that have DRM on them, but of the 100+ scenes I downloaded I only found maybe 5 that still had DRM (mostly in older videos).

DL Speed - I know that there have been a few complaints, but I don't see a problem. My average DL speed is 400kb/sec. That compares very well to Video Box, for example, where I average less than 200kb/sec.

Updates - I've been a member for less than a month, and given the number of movies already on the site it will be a while before I have to worry about that. When I do, I'm sure I'll agree with the people who complain about the lack of regular updates.

Sound issues - no one has mentioned this before, but I've found that the sound isn't in sync with the video on many of the scenes. It isn't off by much, but enough to be annoying.

Over all, this site is well organized and worth the money. Yes, I know that some have complained about the cost, but Third is an excellent studio and it is worth it. Bundled with Zero Tolerance makes it an amazing value. If Third and Zero are to your liking, you can build an impressive collection quickly.

I give full marks to studios like this who make good movies, and then make them available on the net at a reasonable price with no DRM. I only hope that this business model continues to get picked up by other studios.

Third Site Membership Added

Third Movies just added another site to the membership. In addition to ZTOD, you now get access to Black Ice Pass. It features mostly black actors and/or actresses and is not yet listed by TBP. Adding a third site is a good way to increase the value of this site. Way to go!

Better conditions

Had some dispute with the two sites: Third Movies and ZTOD (package deal) where you were not able to download some of the content - just stream. (see review)

Just went through both - and they have altered things, so it's now possible to download all content. Well, at least the stuff I tried to grab without luck earlier...

DRM Issues Resolved?

Third Movies was actively removing DRM from its videos. However, at last check, there were a few bugs in the system as some videos were offline and others still had DRM attached. Does anyone know if the process of removing DRM is complete yet?

Freezing Downloads

I am having major problems with downloads freezing. My connection speed at better than 4mbps is not the issue. I attempted to contact them thru their Support Page and it won't go through either. Some Support Page if it doesn't reach them.

Download Issues

I stated it in my review for Third Movies but there were certain clips that I had problems downloading or even viewing in the WMV Medium format. I am on a Mac but I have the Flip4Mac plugin and have had no issues viewing WMVs on other sites so I knew it was on their end. I sent them an email about it and was told that they would work on it. 2 weeks went by and I was still having issues with the same clips so I sent another email and heard nothing back. The other day I finally went and downloaded the XVID codec and was able to download some clips before my membership expired but overall it ended up being a waste of money.

Not only were there issues on the Third Movies site but on the ZTOD site I guess they have been removing DRM from their clips and a lot of them weren't working so overall I ended up being pretty disappointed with the membership. Like I said in my review, the content is top notch and the talent is gorgeous but if you can't use the product it makes it pretty meaningless.

Download Speed

Just joined this site. The site advertises incredible download speed. Maybe their server is having a bad day, but so far it is almost the slowest download speed I've encountered on a major site. I tried and tried again, and even checked my own connection, which is normal and fast. Like I said, maybe they are having a bad day...if it changes, I'll post again. But so far. it's S-L-O-W! ***UPDATE***As promised, I wrote that I would post again if any changes occurred. After a few days, download speed increased. I would characterize it as average.
