In the end, for me, it doesn't matter what you name your zips because I change them anyway when I download. Well, um, I like to right-click and save the thumbnail with every zip I grab. I save the thumbnail first and name the thumbnail when I save it. I give it a name and put the author's name at the end, and nco in there somewhere if it's non-commercial only. Then I CTRL-C to copy the name I typed, hit save on the dialog, then grab the zip. I paste into the save dialog for the zip so the name's the same as the thumbnail. This way I have a thumbnail and zip together with the same name. (I can browse it all in XP's Explorer in thumbnail view..I love it!) My downloads directory has scads of sub-directories and I download directly where it belongs. When the Directory folder reaches 5-600 megs I save off to cd. It's already organized. And this is what I teach my Poser class..don't know if any of them actually do it though. Oh, one other thing. When I name the file as I'm saving, I usually prefix with V_ for Vicky, M_for Michael, V3_, P4F, etc. where applicable.
