If you wait until the rush is past after a new update you should have no problem-- I have DSL but it seems to be as slow as a modem in some situations, how fast do you get around in Renderocity? Poser World [subscription side] and Rocity seem about the same to me. Don't ever try to download after an update-- the clothes will stay around. It truly is worth the extra time. ALmost all the offerings there are NEW models, not maps of some other thing you have to buy. And the furniture and scenes are magnificent. Emily
