I found the site difficult to navigate (@best) and having to re-register was a nuisance.  However, I decided to give the new site a try, and perhaps even pick up a small item that I meant to get at the old CP.

When I checked out though, I got an unwelcome 'little surprise'.  CP only allows downloads for 30 days and if you want any longer...well, you gotta pay a few more bucks for 2 additional years of protection. 

I know other sites sometimes offer insurance for 3d software backups, but in this economic climate and for this kind of content ???  I admit I am as mystified as everyone else by their current business strategy.
