Yeah, sorry to be the bearer of bad news; but if something seems too good to be true, sadly it usually is.

I don't see this as a hijack of the thread, since anyone who spends time searching for freebie downloads will run into this problem at one time or another. I had a similarly dodgy site on my links page for a while before I realised and pulled it.

Here's one test that I do if I'm doubtful. If the site in question offers downloads of people or figures, download one of them and look at the files. Although the model itself will probably be in 3DS format, the textures will have the familiar layout that we associate with DAZ figures. I've found several that still have the creator's logo and copyright message on them.
