WTF Hustler?

I subscribed to both Hustler and Barely Legal. When Hustler switched over to Hustler Unlimited I lost my access to both, and they never responded to multiple emails. OK, The subscriptions were running out anyway so today I subscribed to Hustler Unlimited. WTF, there's no download option, only streaming. And the Terms of Service specifically say subscribers can download.

The new site is very badly designed as well. If you click on a favorite star, for example, it lists all the movies she was in. But you have to open a link for the entire movie, and then you can click on the specific chapter that has the star you want. Very awkward.

On the plus side, it does include other studios, such as Elegant Angel, but that not much use without download.

Is anyone else seeing the same problems?
 
Apparently "Streaming Only" is their new business model. They don't answer emails, and Epoch won't issue a refund even thought the terms and Conditions say it includes downloads.
 
Look into downloading streams? ffmpeg can do it fairly easily from a terminal window, for example, though you'll probably have to look online for explanations on which command-line option etc. to use. Also, learn how to use your browser's developer tools to find the m3u8 file they probably serve you (instead of a straight video file), and which you need to tell ffmpeg to download.
 
I actually went to the trouble of working out how to download them after @Redsfan33333 asked, and explained it in a private message but never got a reply to that. So here’s how:

Because I was curious, I decided to dive into this and work out how you can easily download Hustler's streaming vids. Turns out you don't need ffmpeg, you can download MP4 files directly. But it takes a bit of digging to get to them.

Follow these steps:
  1. Go to a page at Hustler where you can view the scenes in a movie.
  2. On the right-hand side of the page, right-click the name of the scene you want to download and choose "Inspect" from the menu that appears. In this example, let's do scene 3. (Note: if you can't choose "Inspect", you will need to enable your browser's developers tools, or DevTools. Google for your browser's name (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) plus enable developers tools to find out how to do that.)
  3. Your browser will open the developer's tools to show the HTML source of the page, with an element highlighted, such as:
    Code: 
    <li class="video-scene-interior active" data-vid="6318017626112">…</li>
  4. What you need is the number after data-vid, in this case: 6318017626112. Double-click it so it gets selected and copy it (Ctrl+C on Windows, or Command+C if you're on a Mac).
  5. In the developers tools window, switch to the Network tab, find the Filter field (usually at top left) and paste (Ctrl+V or Command+V) the number you copied into that field.
  6. In the list below the Filter field, check if the same number appears there. If not, reload the page and click on the scene again — the number should be in that list now.
  7. In this list, click on the number. The pane to the right of the list will show a lot of code again, split into sections that start with a { symbol and end with }. Scroll through that until you find sections whose first text is "avg_bitrate": followed by a number. Each of these will have an "src" item as well, which is the URL to the actual MP4 file.
  8. Select all of the URL, from the initial http:// to the end of the line, except for the quote marks. Then copy it with Ctrl+C or Command+C again.
  9. Open a new tab in your browser and paste the URL into its address bar. The movie will load and play there.
  10. Right-click the movie so a menu appears. Choose to save it from that.
This may seem complicated at first, but do it a few times and it'll be second nature ;)
