I run off a slow dialup link, so I bookmark the direct links to the pages I want to look at and avoid anything else. I dont tend to look at rendo freestuff page anymore because of the huge delays in loading and the terrible search function.

I havent had problems on sharecg except a few times it has seemed to be dead. If I want a large freebie I need to go to another place and use a faster link. Any file downloads are a major pain because of the 15 minute trip , hope the library system is up, hope the flash drive hasn't been blocked again , do the download, copy it to flashdrive , test its still intact , etc etc etc.  

Another couple pages doesnt seem like much , maybe if you have cable or DSL but at an average 28.8 with a 2.7Kbps transfer rate , it moves from yes I want that to, oh well, not gonna waste 10 minutes.
