So, putting all my newer downloads in a desktop folder named t (random jab at keyboard, my current image project is kept in jtgr), leaving all the pre-crash files on D:..My Documents/3D Stuff or 3D Stuff/objects, leaving the default filename of Freebie.zip (no, I'm serious, its there, thanks Shadri) and probably not remembering to grab the thumbnail, isn't the best way?

searching thru the Character library :10 minutes
zip viewing thru download folders :30 minutes
searching online for an outfit you know you downloaded :all evening
giving up and just doing a NVIATWAS :timeless
