| Poser 5 available free thru Labor Day
This really hurts. I'm on a 2.6k/s dial-up connection.
Curious Labs' Poser 5 (the ultimate 3D character solution for Artists, Illustrators, and Animators) is available for free download thru Labor Day. It's 644 MB, which means you probably won't have it for Christmas if you're on dial-up.
4 days only, Midnight Friday Sept 1 til the clock strikes 12 on Monday night Sept 4th.
Current Price at Amazon.com is $ 79.99 100% FREE just for registering at Content Paradise.

I don't know how well this venture is going to work out. I've been trying to register for nearly 2 hours (in the hope that one of you might send me a disk with the program,) but the site is just too busy to get through. There is also a sign-up link at checkout, which was also too jammed to reach.
Poser 5 Full Version requires Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP (or) Mac OS 10.2 and up 256MB RAM 1024 x 768 resolution |

Good thing it will be available indefinitely....I was able to register, but just barely. (I'm seeing "account verified" but the rest of the page has been attempting to load for 10 minutes)
If the page itself won't even load images yet, I imagine a 644 MB DL could take until Christmas 2007 on Broadband (which I'm on), or the year 2013 on Dial-up. 
Heheh...pretty sweet deal though! Thanks for the heads up fancypants ! 
The program is probably way over my head, but for the price, I just can't refuse.  -- I had a life once.....now I have a Computer and a Modem. |

  nikdo Premium join:2002-02-26 Dacula, GA | The site also says that you will be able to download later at anytime. It should be fine after the rush is over in a few days. After all, it is free.... |

Registering was easy & fast, but when I went to download the actual product, that message popped up. I might just wait until Tuesday [when everyone is back at work] to try. |

| reply to fancypants I dont suppose anyone who has the files already wants to make a torrent and share.
Has anyone tried to download anything else off the site to see if its just the Poser files that are slow or if thier whole site is overburdened?
On a side note, when you sign up they send you a 10% off coupon code with the registration for poser thats good till Sep. 30. -- "There's no such thing as a soul. It's just something they made up to scare kids, like the Boogeyman or Michael Jackson." - Bart Simpson |

  daT CSM 101 Premium join:2002-09-15 Toronto, ON | reply to fancypants You know that Poser 6 has been out for over a year now?
And that "upgrade to Poser 6 for only 129" seems to be the point of this offer... -- daTerminehtor |

| Still, for someone who has no intention of ever buying the program and just wants to play around with it some, this is a hell of a deal, even if it is out of date. It sure beats getting a virus laden warez copy. -- "There's no such thing as a soul. It's just something they made up to scare kids, like the Boogeyman or Michael Jackson." - Bart Simpson |
