I always thought FREE STUFF should work like the Market Place, with multiple previews a description of the item and what's in the download, user comments on quality, and a trackable history of when you downloaded it. A user should only be allowed to Download an item 3 times. After that they need the contributors permision to download. That way people will have less bandwidth killed. There should be much better topic searching both in MP and Freestuff. It shouldn't be that hard to modify the MP code to work for Free Stuff. The only changes are to allow linking to outside sites vs. sites with in Renderosity, and removing the cost and payment options. Some other cool ideas... how about some rewards for frequent free stuff contibutors. Like 1000 downloads gets the contributor a R'osity gift cetificate for $10. It's not much, but a little something extra for sharing here as opposed to just on your own web site. Some clear inications of weather a free stuff offering is an actual file or a link to another site I have to search through. Basically a different button if the link ends in .htm than if it ends in .zip, .rar, .sit or .exe. This would all make my R'osity experience nicer.
