Quote - seriously can someone tell me why i cant see the models at that site and cant download them, all i get is red "x"s where the pics should be and http404 webpage cant be found...

Hmm...

I read your earlier post as well.

I don't know what the problem is.  If you are constantly getting 404'd, it's probably not that site.  You need to check your security settings first.  I have no problem there and I run fairly secure settings myself.  So, I sort of doubt that's your issue.

If you can't see ANY pictures of the models and get a 404 when you click on the links, the only thing I can think of is somewhere along the line you are blocking something.  Check your firewall/router/software firewall/antivirus and ESPECIALLY any adblocker/anti-adware/anti-spam tools.  Sometimes, those install helper objects in your browser to keep you from stepping on internet land-mines....

If you can see some of the pictures but when you go to download the model you either can't or there isn't a link, that means that the mesh was only stored for data.  It's an archival system analyzing topology, not a simple model database.  Almost all of those meshes are available in full freebie packages from their host sites.  Other meshes are proprietary and the engine protects them while still cataloging their topology.  So, you may not be able to download a mesh because it is proprietary/commercial.   A reference saying so will appear where the link for downloading (upper right) would normally be.

What country are you accessing from?  I'm in the US and don't have any issues.  It's remotely possible there is a country block for your country accessing that site.  There are ways around that though but, I'd never suggest them...
