"DAZ are working on their filesize problem. But they seem to be doing the geekish sin of entering the data manually." I don't realy understand at all, what does this mean? "As a customer, I think too many items come in too big a lump to download without some sort of download manager. The download-sites don't have to allow download managers for them to ease that problem." I detect a real bias toward the market with the money, rich folk with broadband. I wonder how the spending really breaksdown though between the small number of big spenders and the larger group of slow but steady consummers. I have no money to speak of ever but cumulativly I have shelled out a huge amount shoveling back Poser earnings into acquiring other peoples content. The other day doing back up I burned 6 CD-ROMs of purchases, all of it downloaded at 1.5kbs to 3.0kbs --is that 40+ hours of download? Often I feel I have to justify my dial-up status - as though I can just go out and get high-speed for a reasonable price (DSL isn't even available in my geographic location!). But honestly, every single, every single, Poser store and independent content provider I have ever dealt with has been honest, friendly and accomodating, and helped me as needed and made sure I was taken care of depsite my bandwidth issue. Just now nice people at CL/CP have graciously agreed to ship me the SR-1 and Content upgrades! I was thinking the other day about the weird download arrangements and decided they were anti-theft measures... but a re-distribution thief would not publish their own download key/URL to others would they? They would upload their file to a P2P server or a European or Asian host wouldn't they? Anyhow... I got to say it again. People in "the community" have been so honest and nice to me all through the years.
