I just think it was good Customer Service. I don't know what they would have pangs of conscience about. The original deal was one that I agreed to, have never had reasons to regret. The fact that they changed their pricing model is not anything unique to this site - lots of others have done similarly.
The new deal makes me happy, so there we go.

I asked Videobox if the new both-premium-sites-for-one-price deal was going to be extended to existing members, received an answer that was basically - "here's our FAQ's, sucker", which I interpret as "No"

There is an ebb and flow to the quality of updates to Videobox.
There were years when I was looking at high ratings for this site and checking the updates and thinking - Meh - I can easily skip this!
At a certain point, there was a lot of archived material that was of interest to me plus a lot of recent updates that were of interest to me and I joined. At a point when I felt that they were providing enough of interest to make worth my while, I joined long-term.
They're in rather a fallow period for updates these days, for my tastes, so I'll be keeping my eye out for when my subscription runs out and seeing whether I want to re-up or let them buid up an archive that I'm interest in again.

And emulating that would make Videobox better?
Uh, no thanks!

Funny, when I take a look at American Vice's recent updates, I'm seeing anal, anal, dp, anal, anal, fat girls, anal, inter-racial, anal, anal, Asian, anal - lol
What am I missing that they have that's unique?

It's what their members want - or at least the vocal ones - whenever there's a scene that doesn't include anal, there's always very highly rated comments complaining about that.

OK - so you can upgrade a few ways - when you join, you can choose premium channels - and they'll make very clear what the costs are. If you're looking at a scene in a Premium channel and click "Download", there will be a pop-up that will explain exactly what the costs are and you have the option to close the pop-up or to click through to the upgrade with the costs as specified, or you can click on "Upgrade Now" banner in a premium channel and you will get a pop-up describing what the costs are - and again you can choose to click through to upgrade or close that pop-up.
In every scenario, I believe that they're doing a good job of spelling out the costs with little risk of charges that catch a member by surprise.

I joined the EA upgrade and I thought that VB did a good job at making it clear exactly what I was doing when I did it. I believe that it would be difficult for a non-upgrade VB member to be sucked un-knowingly into an upgrade with their current set-up.

I'm afraid that I've never downloaded anything in standard to compare - since I move my files to DVD, I get the largest ones that I can, figuring that they are the best available quality - I'm happy with the quality that I get from VB

That's a lot better than 88 kb/sec - glad it worked for you, Messmer

As I say, with this DownThemAll plug-in to Firefox, it's pretty straightforward, just like saving any file. You right click on a scene that you want to save, below the usual options such as "Save link as", you'll see an option to "Save Link with DownThemAll!", you choose that option, a "DownThemAll!" window will open, which is also very straight-forward. It has a clear place where it says "Save files in" so that you can direct the file exactly where you want it to be. You click "Start" and it starts and displays a nice window so that you can see the progress - at the bottom it shows the speed at that moment, next to the file itself it shows you the average speed - because I may get speeds of 2.02mb/sec for a moment or two, but my average download speed is 515.2kb/sec.
Repeat as you go. If I'm too much of a tech-moron to answer your question correctly here, I would recommend the forum.
Good luck - I hope it solves your problem - there's too much good stuff on Videobox to suffer with 88 kb/sec downloads.

Have you tried using a download manager? The web-master from DDF recommended "DownThemAll", which is a plug-in to Firefox, so it works right from your browser - you right click to download and using DownThemAll is an immediate option - the simplicity is great for a tech-moron like myself.
I get speeds of 515 kb/sec from Videobox and virtually every other site I've used this download manager with any hour of the day or night.

Yeah, it was back online this morning - It was weird - I was downloading a vid when it just stopped like the server went down and when I tried to leave the site and go back in, it was unavailable. Oh, well - shit happens

Since the webmaster at DDF recommended using the DownThemAll! plug-in to firefox, my perspective is "Slow downloads - what are they?" If I'm having a slow download, I use DownThemAll! through the firefox browser and I'm getting downloads once again at 515 kb/sec - which is my current speed right at this second from Videobox - I'm happy.

Better than Evil Angel's own site - with them posting lots of web-only stuff on some sites and HD stuff on Buttman - I don't know about that, but I'm hot enough for their stuff that I am enjoying having access to both.

I was offered what I thought was a good deal on the Evil Angel Premium Channel - having already done a test drive of VideoBox, I decided that it was worth it - I have no regrets at all. The DVD's posted on the Evil Angel channel have been quite good and the vid quality is quite high and Evil Angel is my favorite porn company these days, so... There you go

Hbe22bbm's Review
As others have said, this review is lacking anything that makes it a review
Definitely best bang for the buck - why? what makes it so good?
Great search engine - really? what about this search engine makes it so good?
Good video quality (premium) - good - not excellent? For a 98 score? Does it look good full-screen? Is it DVD quality?
Fleshing out the things that you do say, however minimal they are, would make your review more valuable to other people that read it.

Yeah - it's lame. Now they've got the FAQ up and it still doesn't talk about what the pricing is or what it would be for someone who upgrades in the middle of their monthly membership.
And the owner is dismayed that members are negative about it all - what was he expecting?

The VideoBox owner put a blog up yesterday that they haven't figured out their pricing on the premium upgrades yet and will put up an FAQ once they figure it out.
I thought that was rather ass-backwards of them - put up the upgrade with no roll-out, then, after their members get thoroughly inflamed, start figuring out what their pricing will be.

While I was filling out a feedback thing at VideoBox, asking them what the prices for the upgrades really are, since apparently you can't even tell if you're already a member of the site, the whole site went down for maintenance. So they might be making changes in reaction to this whole SNAFU.

That's really fucked - they might see their sky-high ratings around here start dropping if they keep up that crap.

I finally joined this site and they made me very happy I did when I downloaded the astounding Jake Malove POV Sharka Blue scene - one of the hottest scenes of all time, for my tastes - definitely in my top 50.
