You might try disabling your firewall and antivirus program if you use them. Sometimes that makes a difference for me. DAZ seems a bit slow today. I'm trying to download Questor's weapons from the Free Stuff Archive. (He's redone all them, and made them "Poser Ready!") I think sometimes DAZ just gets hits with lots of people who want to download. Hey, it happens when they come up with a popular special or freebie!
