* Some not yet implemented features bring up "Coming Soon" pages with error messages
Bottom Line:
The sheer complexity of the search engine around which American Vice is built is daunting. I oft forget some useful feature when using it because there are so many to choose from. The layout is a JavaScript menu system that you click to add any of the 76 standard filters. Once you're happy with your basic search, you can organize it by date added or by title and choose how many items are displayed per page.
Then you can refine it further by star, director, studio, and series or even by if you've watched the scene or not – the site keeps track so you don't have to waste your brain on such things. Add to all this that you can make your own text string filters and the only limitation of this amazing engine is all the filters are Boolean AND functions – but since most users are perplexed by full Boolean search engines, this isn't much of a fault.
Browsing the content your search has found is easy with screen caps for each scene and WMV streaming that lets you search through the video. Hit the download button and this site's next strength becomes apparent. With full support for download managers and accelerators, speeds of +1 MB/s are not hard to reach you and you can keep browsing the site as the downloads are handled by separate servers.
The site has an undeniably huge collection, though not the biggest it must be said, and excluding the atomic ace of its amazing search engine, it has yet another important difference: The DVD catalog is abnormally diverse. You will find a lot of the standard studios but the site has a strong collection of nearly any fetish you can name (even John Thompson's Sex Box films). Due to that I'd recommend the site to those testing the waters of a fetish, as it will be reasonably represented here and at great value to boot.
The oddest plus of this site is a feature that's been abandoned by all of its competitors: Full written Editorial commentary on every scene and each DVD as a whole. More than just a run-down of the action, they honestly critique everyone involved. It often goes off topic in outrageously funny rants or references to whatever the scene brings to mind. It is all very stream-of-consciousness in a style reminiscent of MST 3000. Without their insightful commentary I might not have noticed how Katsumi in a specific DP scene was tied to the geo-political history of Vietnam in regards to France and America. The commentary gives a personality and voice to what otherwise would be a cold, efficient site. Sometimes I purposefully search for bad scenes just to see what the Editor said about them.
In the category of DVD content sites it is hard for a younger site to step out from under the shadow of the undeniable giant at the top – but I think American Vice does just that. Having tried many of the popular DVD content giants, I can honestly say that American Vice is better than all of them. If they can enlarge their catalog to match their competitors, nothing will stand in their way.
If you can list a con, it can't be a 100 - come on now. A little realism in the score would be nice.
How about telling us the number of models, videos and photo sets. Are the videos DRM protected? What are the dimensions of the vids and photos? Is the site easy to navigate, are all the models hot, or just some? Is it solo content, or g/g or b/g?
I understand that not everyone spends hours on their reviews, but a little effort would be appreciated.
They are definitely having some problems there, I tried logging into one of the other sites and then using their header bar control to log into Anime Movie Pass and it still passed me over to Flip 18. Very odd.
Not a huge loss though, the video quality of the DVD conversions suck and usually they don't put up the subtitled ones - just the crappy American dubbed versions.
One thing I forgot to mention in my update of the review is the download speed their servers is now providing. I generally get 1.2 MB/s from them; it is quite consistent. So, basic gist of the comment is, downloading from this network is sweet. Very fast, download accelerator friendly, et cetera.
Granted I was a member of this site about 5 months ago - so they should be considerably larger now, but at that time there were 30 videos and every video was downloadable as one part - average file size 500 MBs. I have 8.75 GB of the site's videos that have survived since my membership - so I recommend the site pretty highly. I just didn't continue the membership because the updated too damn slow. I'll probably rejoin in a few months and then quit again after I strip the site again, lol.
Was a member approx. 4 months prior to this review.
Pros:
*Models are distinctively exotic
*Very Explicit Hard-core (DPs, Squirting, ATM, et cetera)
*Great lighting, good camera work
*Impressive Facials
*Hi-Res Video (640 x 480, ~500MB, One Part)
*No DRM
*Exclusive Content
*Great Subtitles! (a first for porn?)
*NastyMakeup.com included with membership
Cons:
*Irregular, Infrequent Updates
*Small Site
*Bonus DVD content is uninteresting
*Condom use prevalent
Bottom Line:
ArgentinaTripleX.com is a wonderful site that is marred by infrequent and irregular updates – updates were supposed to be weekly and often were as little as once a month. The models are all enthusiastic and most are quite attractive with that exotic touch that you get from their Argentinean origin. The exclusive video is very well lit, reasonably high quality (640 x 480, ~500MB, No DRM) and the camera work is really quite good.
One unique feature that I personally enjoyed was they subtitled all the dialogue rather than have the models try to speak in broken English - this you way get some interesting and rather frank remarks from the models that would otherwise not have been included.
The content is very hard-core with almost every model doing anal and most doing DP. Each video is quite consistent in the amount of positions and in maintaining a general energetic intensity that is admirable. The models are end with impressive facials - this fact actually spawned a new site, NastyMakeup.com, that is part of the ATX network and is now included with the membership.
Most of the models have done multiple videos and newer videos have matching photo sets. The site is easy to navigate, but hasn’t any search functionality. They include bonus DVDs updated one scene per day, but they aren’t exclusive or even Argentinean.
If the site becomes reliable on its weekly updates and builds up a larger catalogue of content - this would easily be a 90 or maybe even higher.
Follow-Up:
They've been adding new models and more content. Video quality is improving, better lighting and colors - older videos were a bit washed out.
Joining the site now grants you access to the ATX Network - a catchall for all of their current and future sites. They have 2 and 2 more are coming, with early videos for those sites trickling in. Navigation is pretty easy, but no search engine yet. Also the model indexes aren't ordered.
Updates are still a bit sporadic, average length between being about 8-10 days for the entire network. The network gives you more variety with the content. This is a gangbang style site MMF or MMMF. Their sister site, Nasty Makeup, is a BJ/Bukkake site (usually MMMF) and Anal Breakers (will be out soon) appears to be mostly M/F, 100% anal.
Video specs are still the same. They do include photos, but some videos are missing them and sizes vary all over the place.
Current number of videos (excluding the rest of network) is: 34
I just joined a few days ago - but I haven't really noticed that yet. I'm exploring the content still but there seems to be plenty of Bukkake for new users. I gotta say though, I tend to like a little variety or I'll get bored, so if they are mixing it up a little while still holding on to the bukkake trend a bit, I'll be happy. I could understand it upsetting purists though.
Yeah, ATK hasn't really ever done a network option, or even discounting for being a member to multiple sites. It's too bad because I like a number of their sites quite a bit and would be more inclined to sign up more frequently if there were more discounts.
ATK Natural & Hairy has also switched over to single, all-inclusive zip files too. It is a nice time saver, now if they would just name each zip set numerically rather than all the same name. Right now if a model's name is Jessica, the zip file is jessica_all.zip, no matter if it is a zip of her first set or her 30th set. Still, it is a big improvement, no doubt.
Go to their tour page linked off of this site, then click the "Extended Tour" button at the top of the page and if you follow that tour, you will see what they call the "Action" section. That is what you are looking for.
lol, in a sense, but usually that is a more rudimentary download manager. The one I always recommend is DownThemAll! - it integrates directly with Firefox (meaning it pulls passwords from Firefox so you don't have to remember them) and has tons of sweet features like Download Acceleration (which I rarely use), downloading all the links on a page and so on.
Have you actually had your account disabled for doing this? I only ask because I regularly use a download manager on a sister site ATK Natural & Hairy and have never run into an issue. I do limit my manager to one connection at a time however. Takes a bit longer but I find not doing that upsets many adult sites.
Overlap of models or of actual photosets? I've been a member of both sites simultaneously in the past and only saw overlapping of models. If they've started overlapping sets, well, that is a sad thing.

Pros:
* Near DVD Quality Video (720 x 540, MP4, 1.35 Mbit/s)
* No DRM (Copy Protection)
* Video Previews for every scene
* Full-length & split downloads / multiple file sizes
* Model Index
* High Resolution Photos (850 x 1280) with most videos
* Access to 32 Bonus Sites – each with exclusive content
* 36 Models
* 55 Videos
Cons:
* Non Exclusive Content
* Model Index specific to this site, not the network
* No Search Engine
* Download speeds top out near 250 kb/s
Bottom Line:
Part of the 21Sextury.com Network, this site gets the advantage of many bonus sites with exclusive content, unlike the content on this site. None-the-less it provides what it advertises: Models with premium posteriors.
The videos are near DVD quality in the unusual MP4 format and are available both split and as a single file – multiple resolutions as well. Like its sister sites, the best way to navigate Bootyfull Babes is by the useful model index (which is site specific) – as a number of the models have appeared on the site more than once. Screen shots and a video preview for each video help you decide if the content is download worthy.
The content is all quite professional with good lighting and camera work. The photos tend to be very good with few exceptions. All of the models are pros - many of them are big names. Despite the sites attention to the female ass, anal is not the standard in the videos. The finale usually is a facial or on the breasts. As the content isn’t exclusive the videos are directed by different people and the male models are different each time as well – so if your tastes are very specific, you might not like everything they have – but you’ll probably like something, since there is a bit of range.
The site is updating consistently once a week (a new section of the video added every day). Download Managers work fine but speeds max out at around 300kb/s. Worth a look, especially since you get the rest of the network with it.
It is kinda crazy how many sites get beat up by the accelerator, I almost never use it these days. I actually have to remember to turn acceleration back on when I download from big servers to get a game demo (or a patch from Microsoft - damn their servers are fast!). I suppose not all porn sites can run on huge super servers, ah but one can dream... lol
Thanks so much for your compliments! I always try to be as thorough as possible in the 1500 characters they let me use - and I appreciate any comments or suggestions about the form of the reviews. I'm now including information about if videos are available in single or multiple parts because of a user reply.I'll keep putting up reviews as I encounter new sites.
And congrats to you and your team for running a top site - the Pornstar Network has been one of my favorites for years now :-)
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
*Massive, ever expanding network of sites (50 sites)
*Many, many different niches
*Lots of exclusive content
*Lots of professional video content (aka DVDs)
*Good Search Engine
*Many updates per day
*New Sites added every month
*No DRM
*Great support staff
Cons:
*Inconsistent video quality
*Complete videos not always available
*Downloads only allow 1 stream at a time
Bottom Line:
BrainPass.com (aka PornstarNetwork.com) is a huge network of sites and they have almost every imaginable niche that is popular in the USA, and some European and South American content as well. You’ll find all of the big pros here as well as a number of lesser known exclusive pros - many based out of Montréal, Canada.
The network easily ports you to each site and back to the huge browsing site via a flash-based navigation bar that is on the top of every page. You can browse by niche, by site or by model - no matter how many different sites she appears on - and most scenes have useful descriptions. Layout is quite consistent across the board. No pop-ups and no ads.
The video quality varies quite a bit, from somewhat small MPEG (352 x 240) to pretty high quality WMV (720 x 480, no DRM). Generally you can download complete videos, though some videos are available only in 25MB segments.
Brain Pass has been getting some hard knocks for its limited download streams. There two tricks that make it useable, though perhaps still annoying. First is that each individual site has its own server, in theory you can have 50 downloads running simultaneously – so never browse only one site at a time. Secondly, turn off download acceleration on your download manager as that requires multiple streams from one server.
All in all – this is a well managed, enormous network that just keeps expanding and is worth regularly visiting.

Pros:
* Awe Inspiring Facials
* Attractive Brazilian Amateurs
* Trailer for each Video
* Screen Shots
* Matching Photo Sets (with Zip File)
* Simple & Easy Web Design
* All of a Model’s Shoots Linked Together
* Beach, Swimsuit Footage often
* Three Full-Size Bonus Sites
* No DRM, Full-Length Downloads Available
* 167 Movies (20-40 min. each)
Cons:
* Some Unattractive Brazilian Amateurs
* Blurry, Badly Lit Photos
* Very Amateur Cinematography
* No Search Engine
* Messy Apartment Set (Can’t he clean up the room first?)
* Dialogue in Portuguese without English Subtitles
Bottom Line:
This site specializes in one man (generally) dumping an impressive cumshot on the face of an amateur model from Brazil. It achieves that in spades. The attractiveness of the models varies from quite beautiful to 39 and a half foot pole scary. The site is religious about sticking to the cumshot finale and gives you plenty of time to admire it.
The site is easy to navigate but doesn’t have a search engine. However, if a model has done multiple sets, they are all linked to each other. Every set has a trailer, screen shots and a matching photo set (excluding some older videos). No DRM here; and you can download the whole video as one file. Photo Size: 960 x 1280. Video Size: 576 x 432, WMV, 24bit, 1000kbps. Videos are 20 – 40 minutes long.
All of the models perform blow jobs and vaginal sex, some do anal as well. The models appear to truly be amateurs, so you get the pros and cons that come with that. You’ll hear directing of the models; they often videotape themselves whenever photos are being taken of them; and sometimes reactions to the cumshots are less than professional.
As a bonus you get access to 3 other sites from the same company.
I enjoy the faults this site has. There is a charm to the bad lighting, the strange expressions and the random laughter. I wish they took the time to subtitle the dialogue, but you can generally guess what is being said. Not all of it is worth downloading, but it provides what it advertises and the site really grows on you.
I'm clocking in at 1.15 MB/s right now - and that's without any acceleration! So this site really provides with the content. I gotta say, at $10 a month, it's a hell of a bargain!
That's basically one lunch out, excellent value for a month of content. Plus this site has bundles of indexes and a basic title / porn star search engine. Not terrible to say the least.
It is hardly unknown, but I noticed you haven't reviewed it so I figured I'd give it my personal recommendation. Simon Scans is a very nice site with mostly British girls. Rather easy to navigate, and while it doesn't have any Boy/Girl Hardcore - it basically has everything else that is legal in Britain. It is rather similar to Abby Winters as it has a range of girls as far as attractiveness goes, though the photography is probably even better on this site. Good videos as well - no video interviews though, as I recall. Not that I was really a huge fan of those though. It has been a while since I was a member (6 months or so) - I'll definitely rejoin (especially since a lovely hard drive failure destroyed my old collection) in the future and add a review at that time.
Honestly, I wish RAR files were more popular. They have better compression ratios than ZIP and they are much more flexible. Personally, I sort of give them props for going with RAR, more people should use it, though it will certainly alienate some customers.
Thanks for the warning! I was actually looking into subscribing to this site (recently acquired an Oculus Go) — now it's moving lower on the list. Auto signups should be illegal.
