Ariel Rebel Review

The site was redesigned, but I wasn't too impressed. The content could be better organized too. When you go to download the videos, you'll see many of the same random thumbnails instead of a screenshot from the scene itself. This makes it confusing, especially because the further you go in the collection, the thumbnails start to change. It basically looks like they're different videos when really they're just different formats for downloading the one movie.

Also, I see on the homepage that new photo sets were posted on a certain date, but when I visit the photo section I can't see where those specific sets are. It was only by clicking through the archives individually that I was able to locate her last three additions - they were in "rebel girls." Her site could use some improvement on clearly labeling her content so users can easily find it. Oh, and there's no way of knowing how often she's updating the videos.

There are 330 movies (189 are from her blog) that can be downloaded in a slew of formats: DivX-formatted AVI, MP4, Windows Media, QuickTime and 3GP including files compatible with your iPod or smartphone. A ton are in HD, or even Full HD for the newest additions. The ones that don't have a high-def format offer a great-quality option. Sadly, there aren't any usability features, but the good news is that there's no longer an hourly download limit.

You'll also find around 3400 photo sets along with several sets of poor-quality screen caps, desktop wallpaper and wallpaper for portable devices. Some of the sets are in parts and the pics are often high-res and look great, but not all the galleries come with Zip files. The sets are organized in archives and her blog contains additional galleries where more candid material is posted.

Although Ariel Rebel is a pleasure, her site needs some work. Despite her creative efforts at providing users with a lot to keep busy with, the content needs to be better labeled and organized, there aren't any user features and the update schedule for the videos is unclear. Even so, Ariel fans might still appreciate her site.
