Can anyone get these things? I keep getting a dead link. The thumbnails don't show either. They seem to have a lot of downloads, but I can't seem to get them. Unfortunately, I don't speak Spanish, so I can't read what the page says. I'm always on the lookout for hair, and I'm interested in what this artist has to offer, but it looks like none of it is available. Melanie

Heh it's portuguese and not spanish. Not that it helps much, I can't speak either of those languages. But I do understand that he has a provider that limits his downloads to 100Mb/day and that the server is reset at 0:00, midnight that is, I presume portuguese time, which is GMT +1 I have got a few of his hair pieces but there are a few I'm still waiting to get. In short, if you can see the thumbnail, you can get the hair, so keep an eye out for the thumbnail :o) I'm not sure if the "download counter" counts every time you click the button or just when a succesfull download has been made... Anyone who speaks portuguese and has a server that's more reliable? And perhaps was willing to donate space to this great hair? I would if I had the space, but I have to rely on another kind member here for MY downloads, so.....

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA

The hair is really great, you just have to keep going back and trying to download several times. I've gotten a few this way and I'm still missing a couple that I haven't been able to download yet. I speak a little Spanish (which is a little similar to Portuguese) and I understood the same as you, ernyoka: he has a 100 MB/day limit. A couple of times I have been able to download an item even when it didn't have the thumbnail, so I guess it's just a question of luck. But it's worth to keep trying. And if the creator is reading this, thank you very much for your generosity and the great hair items! Sue

I avoid this artist because I notice that trying to download this artist's material comes with a bunch of annoying popups for casinos and such... cheap, shoddy, unsolicited, low life bids for attention ..are we to see more of this?

That's odd Ghost, I've somehow managed to download them all and didn't get a single popup (and I'm using IE). Hope you can eventually get them. SnowS

I've got the other hair files as well, and will be putting those up some time this afternoon. There are 4 new ones. :)

I've sent an IM to our friend X....... He tells me that the problems are with his server and D/L limits (100 M,I think, he said). He's looking for somewhere that he might be able to upload his items to. I've gotten a few, and they really seem to be excellent quality, some hair and really detailed , almost photo-real textures for the P4 male and female. I don't speak Portugese, he does speak and understand English. I suggested he post here to find some space for his items, but perhaps he feels it might be too much of an imposition to ask. Perhaps someone here can IM him if they can help. I think we may be missing some premium Poser items from him.

If you are worried about popup ads and you use IE for Windows, then get Avant Browser. Stops those popups for good. And it's free :o). Laurie

I just posted 5 more of x0261539's hair files over at PoserPros... the same link Desdemmonna posted above.

Thank you Cin, very kind of you. In GhostWriter's defense, the first day I tried to download from X's site itself, I was deluged with popups. That was weeks ago, I think but it hasnt happened since then. He also has some very very interesting textures. Emily

Haven't been able to get a then off his site, everytime I try all I get is a '402' saying he's used up his bandwith :-(
Why shouldn't speech be free? Very little of it is worth anything.

Wow, Cin, thanks. I'll hop over and get them. I'm always trying to find hair for my characters. Melanie

"IE Opera" has been renamed to "Avant Browser", a final official name!" Thanks for the link, but I'd rather suffer from Pop-up's than have spy-ware logging everything I do online.

Ran "AdAware" and it doesn't see Avant Browser as spyware. Just to put you at ease ;o). Laurie

It coz he can only have so many hits per day. I am English and if I log on just after lunch I can get them fine. I guess that means middle of the night for you American guys.

elgfu, there's a 6 hour time diff between the UK and the eastern US. He's in the same time you are so your lunch is around 6 or 7am here.

I did manage to grab some of them very early on Sunday morning, probably when not so many were on-line. Melanie
