I visited a few of the individual collections from the Torbe collection of sites several months ago, and now I get the chance to explore everything this network has to offer. A total of 32 sites plus a bonus content section are included with membership here. These guys speak Spanish and often use Spanish performers, and some of the situations they come up with are quite bizarre. Let's take a peek inside the Torbe Pass and find out what they have to offer.
Torbe Pass offers hundreds of scenes, but with 32 sites splitting a total of around 620 individual updates, these collections can be quite small. In fact, many of the collections available in this network have only a handful of scenes available and are no longer updating. Sylvia Door comes to mind with just three poor quality scenes. Of the 620 scenes available for the network as a whole, approximately 200 have a set of matching photos. Some of the remaining scenes come with a set of screen capture images, and the rest don't come with any kind of image material whatsoever.
Although you'll see the porno staples of fucking and sucking, the sites included with the Torbe Pass often have pretty bizarre and unusual themes and plot lines. A wacky doctor, a perverted priest, and a man in a wheelchair all have their own sites where you can see them fucking hot chicks. There are also sites which specifically feature babes from the Czech Republic, Argentina, and Russia. There are also sites dedicated to bukkake, lesbians, and boobs.
In most cases, the dialogue in the flicks I watched was in Spanish and there are no subtitles. For some scenes, this doesn't seem to make much difference. Others are very dialogue heavy and start off with quite a bit of talking before the action gets going. Whoever this Torbe guy is who looks a bit like Ron Jeremy also appears in many of the flicks both as a performer and as a sort of "interviewer."
To say that the quality level of the materials offered here at the Torbe Pass varies a bit would be an understatement. These range from about average for newly released materials to the extremely poor in quality. Some of the scenes here are so dark, blurry, or discolored that it can be difficult to tell what is going on. Luckily, scenes this bad represent only a very small portion of the overall network collection. It looks like most of the sites which are actively updating are offering their newest video releases at 1280 x 720 pixels, 3100 kbps. Specs on the other materials can vary quite a bit.
The black, white, and red tour pages for Torbe Pass looks very similar to the members area and you can get a brief preview of all of the included collections. That being said, some of the previews show more scenes for a particular site that are actually available. Some good, solid info about what's inside would definitely be appreciated by potential members. I thought the tour looked pretty good but could have been far more informative and accurate.
While I can someone appreciate the simplicity and clean of the members area here, it's very lacking when it comes to navigation and search features. In fact, I couldn't find any way whatsoever to search or sort collection except by model. Even, there is a lot to be desired. You can only browse by name or by picture. The names and the pictures aren't even anywhere near each other! There's no way to look up models by physical attributes or anything else. The only other way to narrow the collection aside from by model is by site.
Although the exact options for viewing and downloading each scene can vary, it looks like you have quite a few choices when it comes to the new releases here. MOV, WMV, MPEG, Flash, and MP4 are all available. WMV format is offered in both full-length files and split pieces while the remaining formats are offered in full-length files only. The highest quality version of each click is typically in WMV format, although older scenes come in MPEG format only at their highest quality levels. For scenes with picture materials, there are sometimes links to download them in ZIP files and sometimes links to view them in thumbnail galleries. A few scenes list both options. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a single thumbnail gallery link to work here. The only way to view the photos is to download the ZIP files.
Torbe Pass is pretty unusual when compared to most other network pass sites. Not only are the themes and categories a bit unusual, but the way things are set up and the relatively small number of scenes for a relatively large number of sites means that they are a bit different than your typical package deals. It's far from my favorite network, but there's no reason not to join up here and check things out if the sites seem appealing.
