I joined Reality Kings (with a full membership) about a week ago because of their 1080p HD content, yet have been unable to download any of their HD scenes- they tend to freeze or "kick off" at anywhere between 25% and 80% of the downloads. I've tried to download scenes using Internet Explorer (which the site recommends for some reason) and Firefox as browsers but have had the same problems.
HD scenes from Brazzers take forever to download, but I rarely have any incomplete downloads. Haven't had any problems with BangBros.com either as far as that's concerned.
I've sent emails to RK's technical support but haven't had any replies.
Perusing the net, I've seen many of the same complaints in various forums concerning these download issues and lack of tech support from RK.
Any of you guys have similar issues with this site? Any pointers, or some kind of software rec's?
Thanks for any and all input.

Can you use a download manager for it?
The FlashGot add-on in Firefox in conjunction with Free Download Manager works well for my general downloading needs.

Whatever the problem is with Reality Kings, it can't be solved by a download manager. I use an excellent one -- Internet Download Manager -- and I had the same problem that Midnight Max is having. RK's tech support is just way below par. I cancelled my membership after two annoying weeks of broken downloads.

A "compromise" solution: Maintain your RK membership, and/but download the videos via a filesharing host. You'd actually be doing them a favor, sparing their tech support and their servers. The downside is you'd probably have to buy a membership to a filehost (approx $10/month, depending) in order to get maximum download speed and unrestricted parallel download capability. Oh, and another downside is it is illegal.

^Yeah, their whole setup is a pain in the ass. They're not listening and don't care, though.
I've got FlashGot and the Download Manager- no help. I dumped RK, never to return.

No problems downloading, last scene I downloaded from there was Saturday, the Ariel Lee, Pure 18 in HD 1080. I know they screwed things up on the view streaming stuff, anytime I go to full screen it flips back to the beginning.

Just out of curiosity, about how long did it take to download that scene?

Seemed like it was about the usual 30-40 min on a large file like that, I think it was about a 2gig download. Also,no download manager, through Chrome, 12 Mbps internet speed.
I'll try another download tonite and let you know the results, Max

Downloaded, the new Pure18 w/ Shyla HD1080, a 2.3G file took 32min. Chrome as the browser, right click save link as, and the download plays fine.
I think Explorer is preferred because of better cache properties on the big files, been told that at least. I've never used a download manager, so what is it they do, cache the file for you in some way? I ask because as these files kept getting bigger my solution to about any problem has been add RAM and it's worked. I used to have a helluva a time with Naughty America downloads, freeze on replay, downloads slowing to a crawl before completion, and complete freeze up and low memory warnings when you wanted to jump forward in the scene. Problems almost all went away when I stepped up to a system with 8G RAM, and completely away when I maxxed it out at 16G RAM. Oh yeah, I changed all my Virtual Memory settings to triple the default settings on paging size. Can't think of anything else, hope some of it helps.
added: Do you have this problem on the less than HD 1080 downloads?

Some (maybe all) Download managers break the file that's being downloaded into multiple segments and download them simultaneously, putting them back together when the download is complete. So, rather than downloading a single 2GB file, you are downloading four 500MB files. Since the speed of single downloads are sometimes limited, this can speed things up. A download manager will also allow you to restart a download, at the point of previous failure, if you lose connection for some reason. So, if you have 100mb left in that 2GB download and you lose connection, you only need to download the remaining 100MB, not the entire file.
Download managers also allow you to dictate how many simultaneous downloads can run at a time and will queue up additional downloads to start as soon as the previous ones are finished. So, let's say that Brazzsers, Mofo's, Naughty America and Reality Kings all have updated scenes that you want to download without having babysit them. You can stack up all of the scenes that you want to download into the queue and go to bed. The download manager will download the scenes 1, 2, ...5 at at time (based on your settings) and when you get up in the morning, everything will be downloaded (providing that you Internet speed is fast enough to have downloaded all of the scenes that you selected in that amount of time).

Thank you, Bill. I had looking into a D/L Mgr on my To Do list, but that saves me a bunch of time poking around.

Added Update: Well now I have the same problem with the HD files everyone else has, to me it acts like they have set download limits on the big HD files. The other smaller files will download in under 10 min for me. I Googled up that they have done this before, a couple of years ago. I'm a yearly subscriber and probably download a dozen scenes a month and maybe have not bumped the limit. If the same file downloads fine tomorrow morning, pretty sure they have some stops in place.

Which download managers would you guys consider to be amongst the best?

For downloading from adult sites, using Firefox, I like DownloadThemAll. A lot of people seem to like JDownloader in conjunction with a Firefox add-in, such as FlashGot.

Today I downloaded 2 of the Big HD1080 files just fine, so I have no more ideas.

You're intermixing problems vs. solutions. The "complete freeze up and low memory warnings when you wanted to jump forward in the scene" was likely due to insufficient RAM and/or inadequate video card, which you solved by upgrading to a more powerful system and increasing RAM.
As for the downloading troubles, I think those were caused by some technical shortcomings at NA or RK or whomever. So, a download manager would be an attempt at working around/compensating for their technical problems.

This is a VERY useful feature when downloading from an unreliable site which may stop/start and have interruptions and generally give erratic service. I use downthemall download manager with Firefox. I can set it up to automatically re-try after an interruption. I can set the time period to wait before re-trying. I can set the maximum number of unsuccessful re-tries before giving up. Combine all that with the resume feature Bill described, it makes for a much more robust and fault-tolerant downloader. In comparison, the standard downloader in Firefox will terminate the download at the first error or interruption, and you have to start it over again.
