 Renaming all the zip files "File_######" is fucking moronic.  I have disks of poser files on them.  If they were all named by NUMBER instead of  NAME, I'd quit poser. Period.  Lets get real for a moment.  Renaming all the files is just STUPID.

The reasons WHY it's stupid:
!- Unneccesary  work.  The files already have names.  If they duplicate exsisting names, THEN rename them.

2-People are NOT computers and remember names, but not numbers.

3-  You must create a database file to cross-reference each download to tell you what they ARE.  Looking in the server and seeing "File_1234567" doesn't give you a clue WHAT is what.  If it said "V4swimsuit-striped", you MIGHT have an idea it's a striped swimsuit for V4.

One reason would have been too many.

Naming the "download page"--" Details" is stupid,too.

Someone at Rendo is asleep at the switch.  Really disappointing.

Bombarding us with spam for freebies is just SAD, but understandable.  The way it's being done right now is LAME.  A banner for the marketplace and maybe a banner of random items would be best.  From a buyer and seller perspective, showing the most popular items is just stupid.  It becomes a popularity contest that exempts the other sellers.  Having more random banners would serve more sellers in the marketplace.  Having a HIGHEST RANKED page with a banner would be better.  As a buyer, I want to KNOW what is the highest ranked in customer satisfaction item!  Not what sells best.  They AREN'T the same thing, ya know!
