Thank you again for your suggestions. Based on your requests, we will be updating the file names to be more user friendly.  The file names going forward will be the contributor’s username, the title of the FreeStuff item and a number.

We will also be adding a download button under the FreeStuff thumbnails and adopting the industry standards to reduce the amount of clicks it takes to actually download the FreeStuff file. Specifically, this means that after clicking the download button, advertisements will be displayed and be followed by a window that asks whether you would like to save or open the file.

Another update coming soon is that the download button (which is currently on the bottom of the description page) will be moved up and displayed above the comments.

As previously mentioned Renderosity is hosting the files due to overwhelming requests from our members who want a more secure, reliable, and consistent browsing experience. Our members have been very frustrated at other sites for numerous reasons, and by hosting the files we provide the type of service our members have been requesting.

We have heard from several FreeStuff contributors that they use the FreeStuff are to drive traffic to their website. That type of activity can still be done in the notes section. Some contributors have even put the link to the file in the notes section which is fine, too.

Best Regards,
Jenifer Carey
