Wait until you discover the Millenium figures, then there is the clothes, the hair, the amazing textures and don't forget the wonderfull sets, buildings, locations all available for Poser... I love Poser, it definitely gets in your blood and once hooked, there is no return... yee haa!!! If you want to try a download manager, go to www.download.com and head to 'Internet' then 'Download Managers'. Browse for "Get Right 5.01" and read the description and user comments to see if this is for you - this program allows you to resume downloading if your connection is reset and apparently speeds up your download etc. I don't use this myself, as I have an adsl connection, but I have certainly heard of it over the years I have been trolling the internet. As you will see from the user comments, some people hate it, others love it. Give it a go yourself and see if it works on your downloads - try some smaller downloads than Poser first though. If it doesn't work, you can always just uninstall!
