Quote - No offense intended, but you folks with your internet conspiracy issues puzzle me. YOU MUST connect to access the store, and you MUST access the store to DL the content regardless of the delivery method...

 

I access the store indeed, but using an unimportant office computer. And one doesn't install unneeded stuff on production computers (DAZ installers can already do enough damage when they backfire...).

Why? The day your app store app breaks something mission critical, somebody will lose his job, and it ain't you.

 

Quote - and you are here telling me you arent connected to the internet.... somewhere there is some internet connectin goin on. Its like a woman saying she never had sex when she has 4 kids...

 

Ever heard of artificial insemination?... Apparently not. So much for your attempt at sarcasm.

In our case here the answer is "VLAN", independent network segments with specific rules on who any computer can connect with. Production computers, the ones you make a living with, never connect to internet, there is no valid production reason why they should, and it's too risky. But they connect to other computers who do.

 

 

Quote - If you are one of these people, you must realize that your setup is not the norm

 

That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. It is the norm in most serious CGI/TV/movie studios who can't afford to delay a million-dollar production because some intern felt like updating his Facebook status from an unattended production computer. So once again, you (DAZ) should decide who do you cater for. The casual hobbyist who has one single family computer, or the professionals or semi-professionals with their specific needs and requirements?

 

Don't bother to reply to me, I'm out of this thread. I don't have time to lose reading how right DAZ is, and how wrong everybody who doesn't agree with your choices is. No hard feelings, thank you for the tidbits of information, and good luck.
