That's one opinion now why don't you back up your system? and than we don't have to pay for a Download assistant

You are paying for poser... a lot as well... or you can get DAZ Studio and a downloader for free.  It wasnt much of struggle, I do miss Poser at times but DS has turned out to be a great option and its. once again, free.  And who said I didnt back up?  You have to reload the files from their packs to a new runtime in my exp with Poser.  I tried just copying the runtime once and it didnt work, perhaps I did it wrong?  I have all the old files on back up, I just hate unzipping them.  As a perk it seems that I can use my old runtime folder with DS  so color me happy.  That and someone pointed me to a program that unzips multiple files at once so I am really happy.
