Hi,
I am moving most of my Rendeosity free stuff to another hosting company, for a increse of bandwidth allowance from 20GB/month to 50GB/month. Do I need to delete the items in Free Stuff or can I just edit the URL's?

PS. I still want them to be available on Renderosity!

Hi Richard,

I have only a few freestuff items that I offer. But from my experience when I changed to a new website 3-4 months ago, I just used the edit feature to put in the new URL's. You can do that on your freestuff page. You should know that changing the URL's of the downloads will mean that the items will go back into the 2-day review process so Renderosity can check out the new URL's. And when they get re-released, there will be a new date, but the previous download stats will carry forward. I've noticed that some people will add to the "notes & requirements" that the URL is being updated. I didn't do that (and kind of wished I had) but it'll give people a heads up that it's not a new item. But that's not really needed and is totally up to you.

BTW, if you ONLY changed the URL of the thumbnail picture, but not the download URL there is no review process and the change is made immediately.

I think this is still the way it's done, but if not maybe someone can add their two cents.

hope this helps, jen edited for a typo

Thanks very much, Jen. I will be doing it over the next week or so and I will change the notes at the same time. Richard
