Quote - The last comment by bagginsbill sounds and feels like an attempt to put the blame anywhere else except Poser 8 ..

I am experiencing several similar issues,  i.e. slow internet, Poser crashes when accessing libraries.

AND I AM NOT USING WINDOWS...

Bagginsbill is right (he usually is!   ^_^), the OP's problems are the system/security interfering with Poser, rather than vice versa.

And both Bagginsbill and SM in general have acknowledged several issues with Poser 8, and they are working on the problems, but these things do take time.  Patience.  :)

If you already had P7, I recommend that you continue to run it alongside P8 in the interim.

Poser 12, in feet.
