Pros
- HUGE amount of content available.
- Many different niches in one site.
- Mostly exclusive material.
- Updates photo sets every 3 days and video sets every 4 days.
- A nice variety of different kinds of models (Asian, Amateurs, Teens, Mature Women, Exotics, ...).
- ZIP file downloads for the photo sets.
- Content ranging back to 1996 (good mixture of old and new content).
- There is hardcore as well as softcore content.
Cons
- Navigation needs a lot of time to get used to - they should make navigation easier.
- No full download/file types/bandwidth video options.
- Design is too plain and could use some update.
- Older videos still in 320x240 resolution - re-encoding would be nice.
- They should work on their content categorization (not as advanced as on other sites).
Bottom Line
- KarupsPC or better Karups Private Collection is one of the best amateur / teen MEGA archive out there. At that content count it is simply impossible to NOT find something you like. Good news is also that they are currently working on a members area redesign which should be a huge improvement. Overall I think it is money well spent for a site that should keep you busy for a very long time.

COMPANY SITES
The other company sites:
The Site:
Karups Private Collection is a huge site of basically a lot of pictures and videos, from amateurs, to asians, teens, blowjobs... the list goes on. Currently, the count is at 100,000+ pictures and 21,800+ hours of video viewing time.
The Content:
KarupsPC is actually not just a collection but actually a group of collections. The content is also organized using these collection references. All in all, there are 6 collections inside Karups Private Collection.
Collection 1 contains the Amateurs (194 albums), Models (199 albums), and Teens (201 albums) sub collections. Here, each album has 15 photo sets, consequently each photo set has about 10 pictures, totaling 8,910 photo sets.
Collection 2 houses the Asian (53 albums), Exotic (57 albums), and Older Women (51 albums) subcategories. For this grouping and the rest of the collections, each album contains 9 photo sets, each with about 10 pictures. The whole collection has 1,449 photo sets.
Collection 3 features the Anal (8 albums), Guy/Girl (149 albums), and Blowjob (19 albums) sub collections. There are all-in-all 1,584 photo sets for this collection.
Collection 4 purportedly has the Bondage (but there are no bondage content), Girl/Girl (142 albums), and 3 or More (85 albums) groups; the whole collection therefore has 2,043 photo sets.
Collection 5 is the last photo collection with Girls with Toys (173 albums), More Babes (300 albums), More Sex (97 albums). This collection thus has 5,130 photo sets. For the 5 collections then, that is a total of 19,116 photo sets!
Last but not least, the Movies Collection has 218 albums. Each album contains of 10 video sets, each with about 10-20 minutes of running time each. They are not arranged or grouped under any particular subcategories so it's a bit of a trial and error method to find stuff.
In terms of the general site organization, layout and design, they did mention that they wanted to keep things simple for their members. Thus I believe the layout and organization hasn't been updated much since first the site was put up, possibly also thinking that their members are already used to this and thus there is no need to change and make the members readjust to a new interface. In addition to the above collections, there is also a Model Index where they provided a Search bar.
The Criticism:
Though the design and organization is actually pretty workable, it doesn't work for me so much. I think I *could* get used to it, but for such a huge site, it is quite hard to find out exactly what you are looking for, especially in the videos area. Also, take note that the most recent content is found at the bottom part of the page... which actually had me a bit disoriented for a while. That is also quite disadvantageous because you have to scroll down a long time in order to get to the most recent content in that collection.
The Conclusion:
Actually, for $29.95, Karups PC isn't that bad, comes off quite cheap, even if you think of all that content at your fingertips. Considering value for money, you get more than what you paid for with all the content in this site which caters to a lot of porn niches as you have seen. If you do not much mind an outdated navigation and organization that needs a bit more familiarization than most sites � then I fully recommend this site to you.
