Can you save clips on Jim Slip's site? presumably not..

[jimslip]

I think you can actually.

[Dace]

I was a member for a brief while, and yes you can or could

[Jambo]

Yeah you can, but it's quite bad the way the site is set up for downloading. You can only download one-two videos, and you can't browse the site when you are downloading. Site doesn't support download managers that well, and it logs you out all the time

Hmmm, i'll get our techies to look at this jambo. But you can download.

Yes lara i only just joined great site too, i have to agree if you could somehow make it possible to download the one whole clip rather than four parts at a time, just the only thing letting the site down. You can download the clips if your using firefox browser just right click and save link, or if Internet Explorer just right click save target.

That is the million dollar question you see. People like downloading the individual updates. For many people it is too slow to download as one update, especially at the high quality we like to give. Not everyone has a fast speed connection and the techies at jimslip towers have done much deliberation on thissubject. AS for the downloading and surfing at same time, this issue has been sent to head techie/boffins to look at, so should have an answer for you soon.

Ok. The site has been deliberately designed so you can download but not surf and start downloading another scene. This is because there are so many people surfing at one time that it will crash it. Thats the official line, so you'd betta tow it boyz. hup to, hup to, i don't know what i've been told.....lol

"This is because there are so many people surfing at one time that it will crash it"

It really is a pain in the ass though lara, it appeared that if i opened 2 connections up i would get a temporary ban (for 5-10 mins). During the temporary ban any attempt (even the non-members homepage) would simply time-out on me.

This happened many times whilst i was a member, as firefox would open several connections to get the images, whilst loading a page and if the embedded WMV files started playing, i was banned again. In the end i had to keep pressing stop on the embedded WMV player the second it came up, so that i would not get the ban and then i could click download.

Given that the quality/content of the videos was generally excellent, it was the only problem i had, but it was a big enough problem that i never bothered past 1 months subscription. Everything else you were doing seemed great and the site was fantastic, just let down by an over aggressive security system, which in this day of high speed lines and whatnot just seemed totally out of place and i havent seen anything as annoying as it on any other site ive been a member of. I could understand if it was limited to the guest pages and samples, but to lock out your paying members for 2/2+ connections is quick frankly appaling.

Whilst im here, i might as well add that some of the videos there seriously need to be deinterlaced before being encoded, the amount of websites i join that have interlaced video is just shocking, its crap that there is such great quality and yet the video encoder guy didnt even bother to deinterlace it.

Please dont think ive come here to knock your website/quality/content, overall i was very very happy with what i got, but these issues if there still there, need addressing i think.

All the best
