does anyone know a reliable and quick way to download from sites like missav.com, and others which I think use HLS streams or other encrypted streams?

In the past I've tried to do following - open network tools, find video element/stream, copy url, then in cmd prompt use curl with --referrer set to site, and it takes a little while (i.e. speeds are much slower). It fails some of the time and you need to refresh/retry, also its very cumbersome, hoping for some script/tool which can do it faster?

also missav has descriptions which are unique to their site I think.

Download Internet Download Manager and use that. Works great and very easy. https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/

Are there any JAV sites that break up the movie into smaller scenes? E.g. a 4 hr movie

arcjav has really high quality files, but the pop-up hell you have to go through to get to the download is crazy. Not sure if they have membership options to avoid that.

Just use an adblocker.

The different streaming sites mentioned here all seem to have specific strengths and weaknesses-

1) SupJAV doesn't have the range of MissAV, but does provide actress names, which is nice, and a lot of 1080 content. One thing a little annoying is their older stuff was never concatenated, so you have to download "CD"s of smaller files. Probably just me, but Video DownloaderHelper sometimes gets confused about this and gives the wrong links.

2) SextDB has a similar but different range than SupJAV, and seem to have merged older files, so you only have to download/stream one, which is nice.

3) MissAV seems to be very hit and miss on quality BUT...has a huge database of older stuff, and I personally really love their suggestions-a lot of related works I'd never even heard of before sometimes get surfaced-either by actress and/or by theme. Just a really nice feature that I wish other sites would copy.

4) I use JavGuru and AVdanwiki to find male actors.

5) I also don't download anything without checking a trailer at JAVTrailers first.

6) None of them have really good search engines.

I must admit I'm kinda curious where one finds JAV in TS format, never seen any shared like that and I can't think of a reason why one would use that.


For new stuff, I mostly grab torrents from some random jav torrent site I found(iJavTorrent), Sukebei when that first one fails and then a generic google search to find weird asian torrent sites that might have what I'm looking for.
I also use empornium and Exoticaz, 2 private torrent trackers.

For very old stuff, I'm running a windows VM with shareEX2, perfectdark(not very good nowadays) and winmx. I also have MLdonkey on another pc. p2p is surprisingly still active.

And, of course, this forum too.

I prefer to get iso but nowadays, they are pretty hard to find since most people just rip from streaming sites like dmm and sadly the quality is not too great on there.
Still looking for a good place with iso you can get for free, maybe one day I'll find one again.

Not sure if it is deteriorated from the source or not, depends how they rip it, but I meant that the official streaming sources are not very good quality to begin with. 6000 bitrate for a 1080p movie is rarely enough, 10000 is closer to what would be decent(not that simple though, just an approximation from experience considering what they use) and there's very few of those.

Same with plateforms like Netflix. They use a lower bitrate for both video and audio. Completely different from the quality you get with a physical bluray. Unfortunately, a lot of people use their phone to watch movies and tv shows, so I guess it's the same for porn. When I see some people even downloading videos from streaming websites, they obviously don't care about having a decent video quality (low quality file uploaded with compression).
Of course porn don't need 4K HDR (it would cost way more for many reasons) and 1080p at 6000kbps is fine for me, on a 42inch Full HD screen. That's why I use maxjav, they have files with the max bitrate available, no watermark.

Even on a 10 inch screen can see that the conditional 1080p video from DMM is shit
