    Hello all,

    I was now one month on premium, and what can I say I am not 100% satisfied with premium, not because of the tuts but because of the service, so first the bad:

    1) Despite on author talent, is boring downloading 10-20 photo per tuts. I would like to have a zip package with every thing packed in: pdf of the tut + images +sources.
    I know that stock images are problem but, I prefer to pay 20 $/month only for PSD tuts with no restriction or watermarks on stock images… I’ ve mastered in cloning.

    2) Sometimes download of source files was damn slow.

    3) Boring and bored of print to pdf and save each tut one by one – make zips!!!!!!!!!

    4) Don’t give all to all: I need photoshop, webdesign tuts.. so I don’t need after effects, audio tuts, cgtus… I prefer less but higher quality services for each one.

    5) make tuts premium packets for: designer, web developer, CG, all “packet” should include related premium content.

    6) Courses should be in zip file for downloading too!!!!!!

    Obviously there are good things:
    1) AWESOME tuts
    2) good courses
    3) good books

    But in the end I will stick with free tuts.plus network.

      Thanks for the feedback, Andrea. We are always working to make the site better so constructive feedback is always welcomed. I am sorry that you’re not 100% satisfied with the service. We do our best to make the user experience as best as possible. We recently redesigned Tuts+ Premium because our readers wanted to view our tutorials in their web browsers. Packaging our tutorials in a zip format proved not to be the best way to provide content and our readers overwhelmingly agreed. Stock photography is something that our readers mention quite a bit. We know that downloading each photo from different sites can be a pain but unfortunately, due to copyright restrictions, we are unable to distribute them in a central location. Thanks again and I hope you understand.

        Hi Grant,

        you must be kidding. We were able to view the tuts in a browser window before, because the html-page was part of the zip.

        Right now, the premium area is veeery inconvenient. For this waterfall tut for example, i have to download the source file zip (including the brushes), the video, and the written tut seperately in order to do the tut offline. Three downloads from your site just for one tut. That is a horrible user experience.

        I can think of only one reason why you make downloading your material so hard – keeping your customers from archiving large amounts of material beforehand and then cancelling the subscription to do tuts offline for a year or so and then resubscribing for a short period to download massively and so on. I personally like to archive stuff after completion, and want to click only once to get all the material revolving around a tutorial (except third party stuff of course). Right now i am regularly pissed off by the user experience you provide.

        Making access so inconvenient, that it’s only practical to do the tuts online is not the way to keep people hooked. Make us keep our subscriptions with fresh good content every week.

        I certainly understand your frustration. I’ll pass your feedback on and see if there is anything we can do to make offline viewing a bit easier.

        The copy right issue I understand but not being able to download the tutorial for offline viewing was the reason I cancelled my subscription after being a plus member for 3 or more years, the funny thing I was paying when the price changed but never even downloaded any tutorial for almost a year, I used to like to download and do the tutorial in my own time but this new way was just so incovenienting.

        I even sugged a way in the forum (username:London), not just me, a few people expressed this but you guys just refused to grant our wishes. The same reply “We’ll see what we can do” was what we got, this has been since the new price introduction.
