Micheleh, not sure what you're getting at. This is an example of two domains on different servers. 3dposer.com and 3dgladiators.com I had a bunch of zip files on my 3dposer.com site. That host did not like me linking into the ZIP files of 3dposer.com onto a page at 3dgladiators.com But linking to a WEB PAGE was fine. That is no different than having a link to someones page on your page. And that is what I think Freestuff should be like: Just link to the persons page where the downloads are located. This appeases many a server host, not to mention has the downloading person going to a web site where they just might find something else they like. It opens into a new window, and people are going to come to Renderosity anyways to see what's new, so Renderosity doesn't have to worry about losing their visitors. And if anyone links in a warez site into the Freestuff, then it's simply reported and that person is banned like all other warez users/posters.
