It's always nice to review sites that you know ahead of time you're probably going to enjoy. That's certainly the case with Download Pass, the latest entry into the world of downloadable adult DVD libraries. They've got some big claims in their tour, offering themselves as "the world's biggest and foremost collection of downloadable DVD videos." What's nice is that the tour is identical to the member's area so you can judge this for yourself without spending a dime. However, you may find yourself excitedly whipping out your wallet in no time for this nicely constructed website.
There are currently 531 videos containing a total of 2622 scenes. I couldn't be sure but it looks to me like a new video is added every two days. These are your big name videos here produced by companies like Red Light District and Adam & Eve. Of course, this means we're talking about non-exclusive content but with a collection this size there has to be something you haven't seen before here; maybe you'd like to check out "Bang My White Tight Ass 7" or "Perfect Pink 11". The great thing about sites like Download Pass is that you have instant access to a huge library of porn without the hassle of actually buying or renting the DVD. And, unlike many other video sites, once you download these movies to your computer they're yours to keep forever.
There are a few ways to browse this nice sized collection. First off, you can view the scenes as divided by category. The thirty-something categories include all the niches you'd expect, lesbian, interracial, gangbang, voyeur, etc. You can also browse the scenes by studio, actor, and member-voted popularity. About the only thing I felt was missing was a search feature. If you have a specific title in mind, there's not really an easy way to jump straight to it. Even their browse option "Complete Listing" isn't too much of a help since it's really just 49 pages of randomly ordered video. While I liked the browse features, a search box would really round out the navigation nicely.
The viewing options are great! Each scene is offered both in short segments and one long file in three quality levels that can all be streamed and downloaded. The quality levels are 143k, 330k, and 760k and I don't think you'll be disappointed with any of them. Even the low quality clips actually look pretty good. The high quality movies look excellent, not quite DVD quality, but these are still professional movies that can definitely be enjoyed at fullscreen.
If you're worried that the 1,000+ hours of video won't be enough to satisfy your appetite for porn, you can check out their collection of bonus sites. You'll find over 40 third part sites each offering their own brand of video, frequently exclusive video at that. A few sites I was particularly pleased to see included were Lesbo 101 and Peter North, both great sites for fans of hardcore video.
Download Pass is, in my opinion, one of the best resources for adult DVDs online. They've got a huge collection, great viewing options including fully downloadable movies, nice quality video, and all of this is offered (to our users) at a very awesome $15 a month. It doesn't get much better than that. Sure, the site isn't perfect. A search box would help navigation and I'd love to see quality kicked all the way up, but this site has too much going for it to get stuck on things like that. Download Pass is definitely worth a look for all fans of adult DVDs.

With its huge collection and low price, Download Pass really impressed me at our first visit to the site a year and a half ago. Let me assure you right off the bat that the site is still huge and the price is still great at $15 a month. The number of included videos has jumped from 531 to 671 for over 1,150 hours of video. They don't provide a ton of update info (last date that shows an update is a month ago) but 140 new videos in 18 months averages out to more than one update a week so I feel pretty confident that updates are still coming regularly. The videos still look sharp and the sex remains as entertaining as ever. Download Pass remains a great value and quality site.
Score decreased from 86.7 to 86.6.

Download Pass had made some nice changes at our last visit six months ago and they've improved even more since then. The collection now includes over 1,738 DVDs, a very impressive collection. How did they get so big? By increasing updates to two new DVDs added every single day. It's now very easy to see exactly what is new. They also improved the site's navigation by adding a search box, as I requested in my original review. Rounding out these improvements is a bump up in quality. Videos can now be downloaded that play at 1000k and look quite sharp. It's good to see them keeping up with the times. Considering that you can get all this still at our special discount price of $15 a month, Download Pass is an excellent join for video lovers.
Score increased from 86.6 to 87.5.
