I love, love, love video sites! And, of course, I'm always looking for one that does it as well as Climax Corner and for about the same price. While there are quite a few out there that come close, many don't offer the super great deal of a price tag and DownloadPass.com is no exception, though, it's not quite one to scoff at either. However, I don't for this to be taken in the wrong way. While access to DownloadPass.com is normally $29.99 per month, you, being one of our loyal readers, get access to this site for a reduced price of $14.95 per month; how cool is that! It only helps that DownloadPass.com is one hell of a video site, offering over 531+ full-length (1-2 hours+) videos in a vast variety of sex & fetish categories. The site design and browsing options are fairly well thought out and the (download) quality of the videos is really good (streams are not as great).
The member’s area mimics the tour so you can get a good idea of what to expect simply by browsing around before you join. There are over 30+ categories of porn to choose from here, which is definitely a good place to start, but I'd like to see some sort of search feature to narrow down the videos even further. You can browse all videos by pornstar, studio, or most popular. From the looks of things on the main page, DownloadPass.com has updated twice (with a new full-length video) early on so far this week, which makes me wonder if they have any more updates scheduled for the rest of the week. Also there are no descriptions for the scenes/videos but there are preview images and each scene can be streamed in parts or in full, in either low (143k) or med (331k) quality. And while there's an option for high (759k) quality videos, these are download only and are nice in size and quality. All parts/full length scenes can be streamed or downloaded using these options and while that gives you quite a bit of leeway, I'd still like to see some even higher quality options as well as 1 or 2 other media options (though, Windows Media works great for me).
The videos here are definitely the type of content I can imagine most perverts like me are going to want to see; they are nice and recent releases from your well-known studios such as: Adam & Eve Productions, Red Light District, Jill Kelly Productions and more. Each scene comes with an image gallery which are simply screen captures taken from the video. For the amount of videos that you get here and the specially reduced price, DownloadPass.com proves itself to be a very worthwhile site. Site design and navigation is good, but not as great as a few of the other's I've seen but still very much above average. I would like to see some higher quality video downloads being added. While 700k is good and the overall quality here is good, I'd like to see it being "great"! I like that the video collection here offers every scene and not just 1 or 2, and I also like the easy-to-use streaming system for the videos, if not for it being a little too simple. $14.95 per month for 531+ full-feature DVD's is one hell of a deal.

It's been a good year and a half or so since we last visited Download Pass and things are looking much the same as they did before save for about, oh, 140+ new full-length DVD's or so. I'd still love to see them make the video quality better here, as the trend in the industry is for 1000k+ and some sites even offer up to 2000k. For that reason my score will likely stay about the same this time around, but Download Pass remains a quality DVD site that is decently priced.
Score remains at 88.1.

It's always exciting to come back to a site and see so many of the changes we hoped for last time around in place and ready for viewing. In the 5+ months since we last visited Download Pass; they've managed to grow their archive to include more than 1,753+ full-length videos. That's more than double the amount they had last time we were here thanks to anywhere from 1-3+ new titles being added daily. Aside from the bump in the amount of videos they update each day, Download Pass has also increased their video quality to include downloadable videos that play as high as 1000k, while the in-browser format movies stream closer to 500k tops. It looks like they've also added a search feature that allows you to enter keywords for movie titles or pornstars. All these great additions will likely increase their overall score and I definitely love to see positive changes being made. There's still some room for improvement overall, but for less than 6 month’s time in between follow-ups, I'm happy with the changes they've made so far.
Score increased from 88.1 to 90.0.
