Why does an xHamster download say Preparing?
Some choices are streaming manifests or separate media components and need a temporary bounded attachment.
Paste a supported public xHamster video page and choose from the grounded qualities that page currently makes available.
Playing this preview loads the file directly from the source site, which can then see your IP address and browser.
Compare all supported sites or try another compatible public URL.
Use a normal public xHamster video page. NSFWDL has narrow source recognition for validated xHamster host patterns, but it does not publish a speculative mirror list or accept arbitrary lookalike domains. Host recognition is a security boundary as well as a convenience.
Validated xHamster pages can expose a useful quality ladder through progressive files or streaming manifests. NSFWDL preserves required request context and may prepare a bounded attachment when the source does not provide one directly downloadable file. Preparation favors merging or remuxing rather than computationally expensive transcoding.
A resolution seen on one xHamster upload is not promised on another. NSFWDL never invents a missing quality and does not classify high resolution as Supporter by label alone.
Free use needs no account and has a nominal 500 MB file limit. Supporter raises the nominal limit to 2 GB and receives queue priority during contention. Resolution is not separately paywalled, and internal uncertainty tolerance is not a public limit.

Use a normal recognized public xHamster page. NSFWDL deliberately does not publish an unverified mirror list.
No. Supporter changes resource limits and queue priority, not source availability.
