yeah, i did the 5 day trial thing for 9.95 and um, it sucks. it claims to have streaming downloads but they break up the scene into like 6-7 different parts and it takes a while to download (and i have roadrunner cable). also, they say u can download the videos but apparently you can only do 2 at a time because the website wont load other pages if u have 2 downloading. what a piece of crap.

I'm surprised. A lot of people keep their subscriptions there and they have tons of content.

I guess it sucks if you're trying to get all their content in 5 days.

i can do without the pictures, and all those other sites they offer as part of the membership, they are not all free, most of them there is an additional fee. also, all of their videos are not available for downlaod, all u can do is view them which is horrible because a 20 minute scene is broken up into 3 minute segments to stream.

My experiences with New Sensations/Digital Sin (the company as a whole, I've never used their pay website), and with Scott Taylor (the owner), have always been first-rate.

Can't download more than "2 at a time"?
Awww

Considering they must be supporting hundreds (if not thousands) of downloads at any given moment, maybe you have hardware/technical issues of your own to consider?

The reason I have so many links to their galleries in our pornstar photos is because their sites/galleries load quickly, they have tons and they are well organized by star name. From a webmaster perspective they are one of the best. I have a hard time believing that all the free stuff downloads quickly but when you pay it downloads slowly. Especially since the money is in keeping customers month after month.

This is actually a very common (and often recommended) configuration for the Apache web server software that they use. I would suspect this to be the norm rather than the exception. With so many users nowadays using browser plug-ins like FasterFox and the crazy download utilities it's important to make sure a single user can't overwhelm a web server or chew up tons of bandwidth.

I totally disagree. This is a great site with a TON of high-quality movies to download. Everything on any site will take "a while" to download, but NewSensations.com has download speeds up to 800 Kb/s which is very good.

Just cause you don't have access to all the sites with your 5-day trial, or are discouraged because you can't clean out the site in 5 days, doesn't mean it sucks. Try paying for the regular monthly membership, you won't regret it.

the only reason why i joined newsensations.com was to get download clips of lela star and guess what, the videos are really choppy. i tried to download a tory lane video just to see if its my computer or just those lela star videos, yeah, the tory lane video ran fine. the one starlet i wanted to download from and cant. sucks.

Given that the Tory Lane video is fine, it isn't clear that you have an issue beyond some incorrectly compressed files. Are you having a problem contacting New Sensations about that, or did you just want to complain in public?

It isn't that I don't think bad sites deserve bad reviews, but if the issue is customer service/satisfaction then it seems to me that the place to start is with the company you have an issue with, not a public forum.

Hey Ryan - My names Sean and I run all the NS sites.

In regards to the scenes in 6-7 different parts we do offer that but also include the full scene download with each video update. For the past 3 years of updates its been this way. We split the scenes up for people with lower bandwidth connections so they don't have to sit and wait for a 250mb+ download. But like I said, the same exact scenes are available to dl in full by clicking the "Download Full Scene" text link above the thumbs in bold. We are in the process of converting all the older video from 2000-2003 to the new format too.

Soon every single video will be finished, re-encoded and offer the full scene to download. Re-crunching 3 years of video is a very tedious task. I just talked to my main cruncher and he said he has 80 old scenes ready for upload in the new format and the rest will follow. All the other sites in our network are the new format to download by clips or by full scene.

You can also download as much as you want with different browsers open. We do not allow site suckers though because as Drew said it clogs the network killing the speed for all the members and that's simply not fair to everyone. Our membership base is by no means tiny and we try to give all our members a good fast connection to the content.

All the sites ARE free with your membership and you have full access to everything EXCEPT live chats and the unobtrusive upsells for pills, software, VOD and toy and video stores at the bottom of the main members area. I don't think you realize that all the sites in the NS network is NS content niched out - We shoot it all!

Our members get full unrestricted access (unlike other members sites which make you upgrade) to all the piggybacked sites within the NS network along with the third party reality content available from Pink Visual, Holio and Sex Entertain. I don't believe in the "Upgrade for full access" bs and that will never be a part of our network and never has been period.

If you joined for some Lela Star scenes - I'm looking at the full scene download links for all three updates as I type this. I also just checked each scene for choppiness and they play fine and look KILLER in full screen because they were all shot crispy digital. These scenes were shot just a few months ago when Lela broke into the industry. If you were using the streaming option then I can see choppiness happening just with a bad connection to our servers. Its the net and it happens. But these files are local on my drives and seriously look incredible - I would down the scenes for optimal viewing pleasure.

Now things are getting fishy - Were you really a member because each one of your posts are false. I strive for member, affiliate support and quality of content since day 1 - I have a feeling you have a different agenda in regards to your posts. For what reason... You will have to fill us all in. I have nothing to hide or lie about - I'm proud of the work I've done New Sensations and Digital Sin and our sites are straight up just like my replies to you.

We're skipping this year. My family is going to be in town over the Holidays and it's a bit much to try to head out to Vegas a few days later.

simple ns, no, i am not doing this for shits n giggles. i downloaded a scene from tory lane and kaylani lei and they both work fine but for some reason the lela star scenes dont run very smoothly. so, its not my computer. also, i figured out a way around the 2 downloads at a time by doing like u said, being up multiple browsers. for real man, im not here to make your company look bad or anything. i wasnt really impressed with the site because in my own opinion, it looks very disorganized. but, for 9.95, i shouldnt really complain. u get what you pay for.

okay, i downloaded the lela star scenes again and the same problem persists. i also notice multiple white lines going up and down on the right side of the video clip so its corrupted or something. all the other videos work fine except those.

Just out of curiousity, what format are the downloads in and what player/version are you using? I'm kinda new to the whole download thing. I'm mean I know what it it is and how it works but I've never downloaded a scene.

a lot of them are in windows media or/and real player format. they are working on making all of them work on wmp/realplayer/quicktime. im using windows media player 11 and i think its the best one to play videos. however, itunes player is better for music because it has an equalizer unlike windows media player.

I'm a member of NS.com. I've downloaded all the Lela Star scenes and all of them play fine on Windows Media Player 10. I wonder if there's some compatibility problem with the later Media Player (though that would be a little strange).

i'm also disappointed by the quality of the videos of the membership site.
i wanted to see some of my favorite scenes in higher quality than dvd and the covers of these titles even say "shot in hd".
they offer the following formats to download / stream:
Flash FLV
MP4 iPhone/iPad MP4 & Mobile
Windows Media WMV
though the flv format has the highest filesize with a resolution of 1024x576. it is horribly encoded with really nasty artifacts. the audio isn't much better, 128kbps mp3 stereo. the last time i have seen such horrible artifacts was when i had a dial up connection in early 2000.
wmv is an even smaller file with the same awful unbearable artifacts, audio is even worse because it's only in mono.
mp4 iphone/ipad is 64 hex 360 lower than dvd. the encoding is better but still very blurry.
it's a shame because the content is superb, but the low quality encodes ruin everything. i expected at least dvd quality encoded with a modern codec (h264 mp4 with a highbitrate like on other sites) without the limitations of the old mpeg2. proper 720/1080p downloads/streams would be amazing.
i like that you can download stills and caps in bulk as a zipfile. though the jpgs could be hihger res, too.
i advise you not to join until they fix this.

For a while I had NS confused with DP. They're both large aging corporate studios, and Kay Brandt worked at both, but I will always remember NS as the one that put Ron Jeremy at the beginning of a lesbian dvd.
