There is indeed a lot of freestuff still available, which can be all but impossible to keep track of. I'm now in the nice position of having a completely new PC to play with. Having learned from past experience, I'm only transferring what I need, and am making a point of including all the Readme files, renamed to match the prop, character or whatever, in the same folder, along with a browsable thumbnail. It takes longer to start with, but it's going to be quicker in the long run!

I can recommend to all newbies, when hit by that initial rush of downloading:

1. Rename your zip and .exe files if they don't have self-explanetory names ('so-and-so hair.zip' rather than 'BBH-2000923746-tr.zip'),

2. Always keep your readme files associated with the download (or make one if there isn't one) so you know who made it and where it came from, in case of questions and so you can give credits with your images.

3. Always re-save models back to the library that don't have Poser preview files, to replace Mister Shruggy. You might remember what it is now, but in six months' time you probably won't.

4. If you're not going to use a model right away, download any preview thumbnail image used to advertise the model and add it to the zip file, or rename it to match the zip and keep it in the same directory or on the same CD. Then you know what it looks like when you find it again three years later.
