Hi. Thanks.
I like to know contexts when I read reviews, whether for cars or movies. It's often hard to tell where people are coming from. Everyone has preferences and varied experiences and this can slew opinions.
As far as the reason for having a limit on dl but not streams, I can only surmise that perhaps this is a means of preventing individuals or networks from easily pirating content? Since bandwidth charges are the same for both methods, this might be the case.
Then again, it could be a way to keep subscribers from bailing after a month-long frenzy of downloading all videos for future use. This would also be a valid explanation.
The last possibility would be related to technical specs. Perhaps there is some odd technical reason. I would not be inclined to think this is the case.
My guess is its a combination of the first 2 above. This would be something I couldn't fault a business for implementing. You want to keep a customer base around and piracy is a big issue for any online media outlet. However, you also have to take into account the competition. Apparently, the owners do not see such a limit as stifling sales or they wouldn't make such a move.

There is a link at the bottom that says "no thanks skip this offer", or at least it shows up for me. You are cancelling directly through the support link on the RK website right?

Yeah, also if you are going to have a DL limit on the site, it might be useful to list the damn file size. So many times I started to download a file and then was like, oh wait that's too large, I should download the smaller version... I don't recall ever hitting a limit here before either, so perhaps it is a new thing, or at least enforcing it is.

Nice review rearadmiral, I joined just before the holidays, and really wish I hadn't. I have hit the limit every day I have tried at under 10 GB (usually like 9.5), even when I hadn't logged in for several days. I don't know why I keep coming back here, it just seems to go further downhill every year. I think your 75 is appropriate, and will probably change my score to something similar, if not lower.
Also, DTA works at RK, but you have to be careful about losing the queue if the cap kicks in.

No question that porn is a huge Worldwide industry but it's still a small profit industry for most studios and porn companies.
I post regularly on ADT and PU. I sometimes post twice as much on ADT because they are a lot more threads going and far more participating members. PU is still years ahead in regards to the quality of it's posters.

The original Captain Stabbin got so many newbies first on screen anal that it's hard to know where to start the name game. That's the main reason why I always came back to his site.
It's true that the porn industry is multi-billion industry but you never read that this is gross profit for the entire planet's porn industry. The other thing that is pure bullshit is when they compare it to the mainstream industry. No offense but there is no comparaison and anyone that says there is has an agenda against porn. Here's some simple examples. Avatar made 2 billions dollars in gross profit from worldwide box office takes. The last 2 Harry Potter movies which were really part 1 and part 2 of the same movie made a combined 2.2 billions gross profit in worldwide box office takes. That's not counting the profit they've made on dvd, Blu-ray and other streaming methods.
P.S: I really like ADT. Not everyone is as polite and nice as hear but the moderator are quick to deativate those that push the line. The bulk of the discussion are on performers and movies so it's good to particiapete here because we mostly talk about sites.

It's possible that RK would have loved to make new Captain Stabbin scenes but the people involved with that series stopped doing them a few years ago. RK has done a couple of recent ones but these were with different performers. RK and Bangbros are primarily shot in Florida and I think that can be a good thing but the recent problems with performers being tagged as HIV+ were both in Florida and there have also been some police related issues at a couple of other times and shooting in Florida may no longer be such a geat thing.
When you couple that with the major down turn in the porn industry and I think Brazzer is the only studio with similar content who's actually making any money. I use an anal barometer to do this predicttion. When studios that used to shoot regular anal scenes and now only do them on rare occasion or remaster older ones then they are in financial trouble. Anal is more expensive than standard vags so if a studio shoots mostly that then they are looking to save on production cost.
Now in regards to Tanner. The simple answer is that there are very few studios that can afford to pay her price for an anal scene. Not too mention that very few stuios shoot on a regular basis. Having Tanner do anal in a video is sure to help sales but I read somewhere that dvd sales are very low. Most studio sell about 700-1200 units per most dvd's and the better ones about 1000-2000 units. If they make 10$ on each on these then their gross profit is anywhere from 7000$ to 20,000$. If the dvd has 4 standard b/g scenes with some established performer then the cost for each scene is going to be about 1000$ to 1500$. That means that just the performers are going to cost 4000$ to 6000$. You also have to pay a director, cameraman, editor and the cost of transfer to dvd. Imagine a performer asking for 4000$ for her anal scene. That's a small amount because I read that Breanne Benson wants 7000$ for her anal scene. If you have to pay 7000$ for only one scene then you have to be one of those lucky bastards that gets to sell at least 2000 or more units to even hope to make some profit.

I had meant to get back to you on the wording in the terms, but the holiday got in the way. My terms say the same as yours and I think you might have nailed it when you said "A site can certainly impose whatever conditions they want, but those conditions should be clear and applied equally to all members." While I like that RK doesn't seem to ever impose the limit on my account, it looks bad on the ones of us that review a site or post a comment that says no download limit then they impose it on others. Even worse is when they let me download unlimited. Let you download less than 10 GB per day one day then let you download much more the next. I have tried to figure up some kind of rhyme or reason for how their DL limit works, but I can't.
And the type of models is another reason PU works so well, if members read multiple reviews. I was ready to be blown away by Teen Mega World after so many high reviews only to be letdown because nearly all the models were slim. RK, on the other hand, as you're seeing is full of curvy women, which is more my preference.

Thanks for the review. This is a network that I used to keep track of but I notice that in the past year they almost never have any updates that appeal to me and recently the site no longer makes it easy to see their newer scenes. Not too mention that looking for older content is a clkusterfuck. I really wish you had asked the question about the Tanner anal scene prior to joining. I would have given you the bad news and saved you from joining for her anal scene.
P.S: I have some good news on Tanner and anal stuff. She shot one or two movies for Evila Angel which should be released in January.

Yeah, I agree about the wiggle room. Someone else had posted that they were told by RK that the limit was between 60-70 big files per day. I have tried hitting it the last two days, but can't. I tried the same thing I had asked you about, downloading the biggest files possible, 48 GB one day, 62 the next. I'm now even wondering about location you download from since I'm not that advanced in technology, I wouldn't know if longer distances cause more stress on servers. Either way, they have always been loose about their rules. To put it in perspective, over 4 memberships this year, I have the entire sites, 8th Street Latinas, We Live Together, In the VIP, CFNM Secret, Mike in Brazil and Mike's Apartment, just add the newest updates when they come out and randomly add from the other sites when it's a model I like. And this too is my lack of technology understanding, but comes from my experience buying hard drives. Amount of gigabytes are rounded or never are the number we see. Seems like member Justme explained it in the forum one time, something about binary numbers, technical gibberish that I don't put forth the effort to fully understand.
Last thing, you may be onto something with the part about downloading from them everyday. I only have 3 days a week that I download and even then I sometimes have more than one site membership, so it could be that my limit, since not downloading sometimes for as many as 6 days in a row, builds up, if it's cumulative. And if I look at my RK folder on my external, it is a total of close to 1 TB this year. Four memberships 10 GB per day x 30 days = 300 GB per membership or 1.2 TB. I'll try a few more times over the next 2 weeks of this membership and see how much it lets me download.

Yes it'a absolutely true.
I am an active member of the rk network (after two months, cause I would like to dwn other sub-site of the net that I like), but I am boring and angry.
In some days I can dwn 10 gb till to be' blocked; so I have the entire bundle of 10 the day after.
When I can't dwn 10gb in a day, I have only the difference to ten the day after !!!
If you interested in RK, stay away !!!! :(

It does seem very low I agree, sometimes people only get chance to download on certain days and with the bigger file sizes for HD vids , its really not long I bet till you get the limit coming in, 60-100gb a day would be more like it if they really had to have a limit.

Hi Rearadmiral, This sucks, can't believe sites still use a limits, certainly stop me joining this site again if it still has limits, not had a site in years that imposed a daily limit.

from exotics4me:
I'm curious about something. Are you downloading HD videos? I'm a member right now and wasn't even testing it, just general downloading, and downloaded the entire CFNM Secret site. I separated them by model so I don't have a definite number, but I know it had to be upwards of 100 GB total, but there is one catch, I do not download any of the HD videos. In the old days of the download limit, it was only imposed on the "big" files. Those are now the basic wmv files, 640-720 high end res on those videos. I still just download those. I'm wondering since it did used to be specified as "big" if the HD ones have now become a part of the limit instead of the basic .wmv ones?
Either that or maybe it's because I sign up through their promo emails from being a member off and on since 2007-08. The old block didn't even work that way. Used to you would get a message that said "you have reached your daily limit of "big" files" but you could continue to access, you could even download the parts of videos and pictures. Check that out one day and see if they are imposing it on the basic .wmv full scenes. Maybe it's a perk of signing up through their emails?

Dwn Limit it is not clear. They says 10gb daily !!
If you download 8 gb from 17pm to 21pm and if you will download the day after other 2,1 Gb starting from18 pm, you will be blocked till to the day after !!! So the limit it is not "daily", but you have not exceed the 10gb/24 hours.
This is almost fraudulent cause you can't program your time spent surfing in their site !!!
There is not the way to contact the Webmaster. They have only an automatic system of replying.
Stay away from their site (today I'll cancel my subscription) !!!!

I think it not true.
What is "big movies" ? Every file you download in mid size (.mp4) has the extension .big !!!
I think after you downloaded 10gb a day you have been blocked and that is it !
I'm angry cause in the first 10 days of my subscription there were not this limit ! I downloaded more than 10gb from the Network, but not more than 10gb from each site of the Net....
Why this change ?

Hi Rearadmiral
Yeah Captain Stabbin is still updated and the last one was June 11, then back to March then back to November 2010 so its certainly not updated much these days. It currently has 260 vids dated back to 2002.
Yeah I guess VIP has its fans, I just gotta little frustrated with the dancing and not enough nudity from some of them a little like party hardcore but even less girls getting their kit off.
Don't get me wrong there are some girls still without tats, shame you couldn't do a search to see how many without tattoos on the site but it has 2643 stated with tats but some had tats when it never had a tag of having tats. God I'm obsessed with tats lol lately, I must get over it and accept them.

Yeah, it's not very consistent. I've noticed a few Hunt4K scenes with no model name, same in Old4K, also none of the Stuck4K scenes have model info other than the performer being first-named in the description.

Thanks rearadmiral, I hadn't realised the PU discount had gone, but if you google 'rim4k discount' you'll find at least one offering a membership for 14.99 for a month.
