PLEASE NOTE: This review is part of a larger, more comprehensive review of DVD Download sites. To read the review from the beginning view the Intro or just read on...

Ten’s trial promises “a full searchable library, over 5,000 videos, unlimited downloads and over 1,800 porn stars.” Does it deliver on these promises? Not really.

The search function, which is equipped with extensive lists of various categories to browse, sucks ass—you can’t manually search for anything and the “full searchable library” that the trial brags about crapped out on me numerous times. Attempting to find starlets on this site was a frustrating ordeal and I only managed to locate one Rachel Rotten clip. The videos on Ten.com are in DivX format, which is a “lossy” source (sort of like a visual MP3), and can be downloaded or streamed with Windows Media Player and RealPlayer. You have your choice of three speeds: 220Kbps, 500Kbps and 1000Kbps,  though clips downloaded at 500Kbps don’t look that much different than those downloaded at 1000Kbps and all speeds load slowly anyway. The movies are cut up into clips for easier download. Honestly, the videos don’t look that hot—they are kinda washed-out as a result of being DivX. The full screen mode looks abysmal. Best of all, this site crashed my web browser after I managed to download a single clip.

What sets Ten.com apart from the other DVD download sites I visited is that it’s more of a community than the rest of the sites discussed here—members are encouraged to rate each clip and post reviews of the movies as well as comments, which is a nice touch. Ten.com also sends porn to mobile phones and some movies can even be downloaded onto your iPod. Welcome to the twenty-first century, boys. Three months of membership will set you back $74.95, which is recurring, while one month will drain $29.95 from your bank account (also recurring). Ten.com does not earn a ten on a scale of one to ten.

Dirty Peter Says:
One acronym… DRM. Watch out for this one! You join and you may not be able to watch the movies you downloaded after you choose to drop the subscription. A side note to this is if you have a subscription, and the DRM licenses expire, the is the off chance that when you try to acquire new ones the authorization system may be down and your jerk session just went out the window!

Other than that note... the site navigation is quite unique in the fact that it does go in to great detail to filter video categories. For example, you can tell the system to return all videos that have girls with "Piercings" or girls getting nailed in the "Pile Driver" position.
