trekkie - a quick solution for the request thing - when you've finished a model, want to get it out quick, just post a link here to the freebie page at 3DCommune, for instance. Then whoever it is doesn't have to wait 3 days. ---------------------------------------- I have this perpetual probelm in situations like this - I tend to see both sides of the argument. I fully appreicate Anton's viewpoint on this, the leeching must be depressing. But I also find it hard to accept the idea of waiting 3 days to see a freebie link pop up - the spontaneous nature of it all disappears, kind of kills this for many. So this is a situation that requires compromises. We'll just have to live with it. The leeching thing hardly affects me at all - I own all the originals of everything relevant here anyway (well 95% of it) so I know I have it already if I happen to DL a leeched freebie :o) So that's the solution folks!! Buy everything you see, then you have all the licences!!! Problem solved. :] Fish
