Thanks for the info. I guess it pays to have the whole package for a while. 3-4 DVD's times two per week is after all 24-32 per month for just few euros. Still makes me wonder, why with all the thousand of DVD's they have to have these few hundred behind a separate package, one you cannot get a longer and cheaper subscription in particular...
It seems that multiple confusing and overlapping subscription packages are the trick of the trade ;)

Megan Mallone's Vivid scenes directed by B Skow are some of the best POV stuff I've seen anywhere - surprisingly good.
Lots of great stuff on the Evil Angel Premium Channel including awesome Jay Sinn material.

Yeah, of course the only reason I even have IE is because I need it for work... My lady prefers Safari for some reason, I find it almost as unstable as IE.

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"

Thanks for that information. I never really spent a lot of time looking at the add-on channels. I looked at the number of titles available and the monthly cost and just assumed that it was poor value. But now hearing that there is a lot pf 90's stuff there I will definitely take a look.
Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for this. I take a VB membership for a month a couple of times a year and have wondered about the value of these new additional memberships. One of the things I always look for are older videos (from the early to mid-90s). Next time I'm renew (which won;t be for six months since I'm in now) I'll be more comfortable considering one or both of the add ons.
But... they seem pretty expensive. How do you think they stand up as value?

Indeed you are right. Well, I think I liked the other deal better for the long term deal. It was only $20 more for an additional 8 months.
So as it would seem, if someone wants a short term membership they should clear their cookies, but if they want a long term deal they should try looking around without clearing them first. Kinda weird.
Good catch Exotics.

No telling what caused it. Sometimes it's a cookie issue, sometimes your browser is using a cached version of the site. That's why I usually suggest both clearing the history and the cookie. But again, who knows what gets into these whacky machines? ;)
It's a simple matter for me to remove the Comment if that's what you'd like.
Just let me know.
Glad you're seeing the correct price now, btw.

Hey Khan, I ran CCleaner and was still seeing a completely different page that had much higher prices. I reset my connection to the cable modem, went back and now I am seeing the special price of $14.95, I really don't know what caused the other page with the higher prices to show up. Should I just edit the comment or can you remove it? Whichever would be easier for you all.
But I am seeing the special price again and do apologize for the error on my part.

Not sure what you're seeing but you might want to try dumping your cookies/history and revisiting directly from our link. I say this because I just checked and am still seeing the $9.95 basic and $14.95 Premium (recurring) plans.

I am usually up to date on what the conversion rate is. That's why the Video Box bill was a surprise. As far as I knew, at the time I was signing up for Video Box, the charge was $14.95 which I din't find out until I received the bill turned out to be £10.54. This was at a time when the dollar was worth 55 pence. That would mean the dollar must have been around $1.80. If they actually convererted the amounts close to the real rate I wouldn't complain. But as I noted, with the dollar at 55 pence I should have been paying about $8.30. I am mainly complaining because I did not see an amount even in euros when I signed up. Even now the amount is only in euros on Video Box. Some sites do give the amount in pounds. If the rate in pounds is close to the amount in dollars, these will be the first sites I consider signing up to. I have decided to boycott all sites that have regional variation and no amount stated in pounds.

I now find I am having the problem as described. My downloads are still ridiculously slow too, even when only downloading one file at a time.

Never had that problem...I can say that today (Sunday) the downloads were slow. First time I've encountered that really and been a member for months.

I've had very slow downloads around midday EST lasting for several hours. Happens like that virtually every day I have tried to download. Speed sometimes down to 10kb/sec. Then it starts to pick up around 7pm EST. Don't know why.

I have not had this issue, but I have had issues getting connections with them lately. Not really sure what is going on.
They previously have not limited the number of connections. So if there are is it is something pretty new. When I download form them, which is usually about 18 hours per day every day while I am away or sleeping, I am using 5 and occasionally 6 connections and never had any issues with them limiting it.
My relatively new issue is with queuing up files to download. i click the file and usually half a second later the file is ready to go, but lately there are times where I can hardly do anything. i click the file and i wait sometimes up to a full minute for the file to come through, and it is in error anyway because my manager forces it through.
You should not need to start the downloads over. Even downloads that are a week or so old can be resumed if you update the source. The only time I actually have to start over is if I stop a file and let it go for a month or so, then I can not resume.

No problemas - at all, pal.
And no way do I think you have "an atitude"
It's always good to exchange some info and experience.
BTW grapped a japaneese video-file at VB - and that one is just as crisp as can get.
Cheers!

Thanks for the info. I have been a long-time member of VideoBox and I could usually see a bit of graininess in the high quality downloads. Then again, it could be psychological.
I appreciate the explanation of how VB gets the videos that it posts. Perhaps this is a question that we could also send to a VB webmaster or to their in-house blog.
Lastly, I am in the market for a new 24" monitor. What model do you have? Do you like it? What videocard are you using to drive it and at what resolution? Sorry for all of the questions, but I don't know anyone else with a 24" monitor.
