Just to be clear, I'm referring to those more recent videos that have 3 formats.... LOW / HIGH / FULL......where FULL is the 3000kbps version.
I can only download 1 clip at a time and cannot browse at the same time. If, however, I am downloading an older video, at just HIGH......I can then, and only then, browse the site or download multiple clips.
Bottom line: combined with having to re-login every 20 minutes, you have to "babysit" the whole thing, and within a couple of days, I've had enough of it !!!
I have been eyeing this site for a long time because of its orgy content. I have some of the DVDs they have released in the US, and i really like them. Do you know if they offer more from the various shoots on line than is found on the DVDs? On the site blog it seemed there were some POV material that may be from orgy shoots that are not on the DVDs. What d/l speeds did you get? Also, is the model directory useful in ID girls in the orgies? Thanks!
I found that it was possible to browse and download multiple files, only if they were the med/high versions of video. If I was downloading a "Full" quality clip, I couldn't browse the site, as I was then limited to one connection !
Biggest pain of course, is that the 90 minute video is split into 12-15 parts !!!
And, you have to keep logging in every 30 minutes.......And, they are now only updating 1/2 of one video at a time, some one and a half videos per week, instead of 3. Shocking !
Of course, the main problem with "Seventeen", is that it is the euro-equivalent of Hustler in the States.....it has a massive market for DVD and now Blu-Ray disks......so at 30 euros a pop for one DVD, why would they give away their entire collection at high quality, for $20 per month ?
I'd just like to add my 2 cents as a prospective customer who has never actually joined yet.
One of the things that has always put me off about the site is the apparent navigation. I get the impression there is loads of content on the site (with some of the hottest performers in the industry), but the vast majority of it is very hard to find (and I'm impatient about trying to find scenes I like after I've joined a site). I don't care what date a scene was posted, but if I search for 'Eve Angel' for example, I'd like to find ALL her scenes in the same place (e.g. as thumbnails), not just her recent scenes from the last couple years.
Anyway, if the navigation issue is improved, there will be a far greater chance that I (and others) will try this mega-site out.
After reading all the reviews I decided to join despite the less-than-enthusistic reviews. I have seen this site advertised more for more than 10 years and finally decided to check it out for the original content with no high expectations.
No, not worth it. Only a small percentage of the photosets have decent size and resolution. Everything else is small and grainy. I could not get any download managers to work so the pictures have to be saved one by one. The sets also have a small number of pictures, not that I would take the trouble to save them anyway.
Too bad. There are some very nice girls on the site, but the overall quality is outdated, and downloding pictures is a real chore.
Thank you for your feedback!
Now that all sites are part of one network, we're not posting doubles, except for the extra Euro Girls on Girls sets on 1By-Day, and that's only to introduce the site to our members.
We're working hard on a merged network member area for ddfprod.com, to make it easier to browse all 10 sites at once. Hopefully you'll find it more user-friendly too!
Overall I liked the sites, but you are completely correct on the cross site doubles. They really need to let us know when a scene is posted more than one place.
Slutty,
I agree with your review. Not sure what the appeal is of this site, but it has some outstanding content and is a great deal! From my perspective, the webmaster is too sensitive to criticism as your review was very fair and accurate.
My review was not as detailed and should probably have had more examples of my comments.
Once you have installed the free version, you get 1 new girl dancing for you every day for free. Those girls stay 14 days on your computer then they are replaced by new ones.
During those 14 days, these girls can be bought for 1 credit, not 2 :)
I've been a member of Twistys off and on, a month here and there over the past couple years. And I gave Twistys about 8 more points then you, I think you have some valid points in your review.
I'll agree with you on the bonus sites. I forgot what they are called but the ones with the exact same content as Twistys main page, really need to just be taken down. I don't really understand Twistys Hard, as it's also updated on the main page. So not really sure why it needs to be in two sections. As for the bonus site, NicoleGraves.com (the main reason why I keep joining Twistys), that sites pretty much dead since nothing new has been updated June 13th of 08. All the recent updates have been rehashed stuff from when she went by Naughty Coco.
The one huge bright side for Twistys though is the Member Forum and Shap. As he's on there all the time answering people's questions and interacting with the members. To be honest, that probably keeps me coming back more then the content.
Overall I think your review could use a bit more detail: photo sizes, video sizes, number of updates each week/day. Overall a decent review.
I really dug this site years ago. Yes, it has stopped updating and so I don't go any more. Haven't been a while but sounds like they've downgraded the pics and removed some of the sets. Too bad as I thought it was one of the best POV sites around.
Hi Slutty. First, I'd like to thank you for giving Twistys a try. I really appreciate it.
I'd like to make a few comments on your review. I appreciate your opinion. I just hope you appreciate my reply and opinions as the owner in return :) I work my butt off to make Twistys the best site possible. We care more about our members than anyone I've ever met (visit our Twistys Forum to see for yourself ;).
Regarding your cons.
Your comment about a lot of our content is not exclusive. 75% of all our updates are exclusive content.
We update 3 Photosets and 2 Videos everyday. That is far more than any other site out there. The majority of that is Exclusive.
We have 2391 Photosets that are Twistys Exclusives
We have 863 Videos that are Twistys Exclusives.
I feel the comment about not having much exclusive content is very unfair and misleading.
Regarding the comment that we have very little hardcore.
We have 1302 Hardcore Photosets
We have 1030 Hardcore Videos
That is much more hardcore content than most sites.
You mentioned our Twistys Hard section and mentioned it wasn't updated frequently. Again that is a very misleading comment. We launched Twistys hard a few weeks ago. As we mention on the site we update Twistys Hard twice a week every week. We haven't missed an update and don't plan on (Note Twistys has been updated every day with at least 5 updates a day for the past 8 years without missing a single day).
Regarding the bonus sites. You knocked us for having two sites that repackage our content. You did fail to mention we have 3 sites that are given as a bonus that are 100% exclusive. Surely the value of the 3 exclusive sites far outweighs any negatives the 2 other sites carry.
You say our girls are mostly fake breasted girls. I feel that is a very unfair generalization of the site. We have more than 2250 models. The majority are not fake breasted. Our goal is to bring our members the hottest women from around the world.
Anyhow, sorry if I sound defensive. I just felt the review to be very unfair and misrepresenting. I wonder if maybe you weren't able to find the variety I'm speaking about on the site. If that's the case let me know. I'd love to improve our site layout so members get the true overall value of it and don't miss out on it :)
I don't want to come off as haughty or anything like that, but I do want to point out a few things and hope that you will understand that if nothing else, I am only defending my score of Twistys.
To start with, you mention the two bonus sites you went to. Those are network type sites that twistys should not be advertising as separate sites, unless they want to call Twistys the main page and take the content off Twistys, which they could do. But Anette Dawn, Blue Fantasies and Nicole Graves sites are 100% exclusive, none of the content is shared with Twistys and you get those 3 with a Twistys membership. You don't even have that listed as a pro, but have the others listed as a con. Maybe you reviewed it from a trial and didn't have time to check all the sites out?
Next is that I know of Twistys has never sold itself as a hardcore site. So, I don't see why you would take off for their lack of hardcore. I used this comparison before with another member, it would be like going to a hot dog stand and being mad because they don't have pizza.
One big reason that I point that out is because your highest rated site is 1byday, a site that is pretty much identical to Twistys in content. At the most, I remember 1byday having hardcore Fridays on their site last year and before then for awhile, but they rarely have more than 1 hardcore set per week, so why would you take off twistys score for not enough hardcore, but not 1byday's score?
I will agree that Twistys picture size should be bigger, but I won't agree about the video size, their standard for a couple of years or more has been 640-720 high end with 2000+ bitrates, that is above average quality. And if you look at 1byday, while their newer content is 1280 high end, their older content is 440 high end.
The part though that jumped out at me the most was when you made the comment about twistys models, I hate to tell you, but I would estimate that more than 90% of the models on 1byday are on twistys. Plus twistys has American models that 1byday doesn't, like Georgia Jones, Nicole Graves, Jessica Jaymes, Brea Bennett just to name a few.
This is the best way for me to say this.
1byday updates at best with 4 sets per day, and that isn't that common these days, it is more like 2 new sets per day as they split the updates with remastered sets. Twistys has 4-5 updates per day, probably half or more are exclusive. 1byday has no bonus content. Twistys has 3 exclusive bonus sites listed above. Twistys has at least 90% of the models 1byday has plus many American models 1byday doesn't have. Both sites have similar hardcore content. Twistys $19.95, 1byday $34.95.
Would have helped a lot if you had a review of 1byday and not just a rating. I would like to see the cons and how they compare to twistys.
