I have everything I downloaded sitting on my F drive. That entire drive is indexed by one very large private website. When I download an item I also save the thumbnail using the same name as the zip file. Then I add it to my EffDriveSite. For private places such as Sams 3d there is a seperate page that holds only that sites items. For freebies from public places like Renderosity I rely on the readme file unless it is from an artist whos stuff I donwload frequently, then they get their own page. It sounds like a large undertaking but I have blank template pages so all I have to do is open the html file type the name and path of the zip and the thumbnail. This makes it very easy to remember where and from who I got what. It also makes it very easy browse through everything I got. This hard drive based website includes everthing from freebies to purchased items to patches and updates. It has links to all my pdf manuals and some tutorials. Still sounds like a huge upkeeping? Glad I started that early as the last full backup of my F drive took 16 CDs. That's how I do it Laters
