I have been a downloading fool for the past few weeks. Gnubler turned me on to a website with free dowloadable clipart and the likes, but I turned her on to this place...

www.heroturko.com

If you need clipart, or royalty free images, and A LOT more cool shit, get a name and password and let the downloading begin!

I just cleared to 40 GB mark this morning. I don't know how much longer this place could possibly remain open, so GET TO IT!

Okay Desingers... you can thank me now or later, but YOU will thank me! :wink:

Why download when you can now just drag from the browser into the Adobe apps? :evil:

(Thanks for the link. Will definitely check it out.)

A small price to pay my friend. It's really not that bad. Like I said, I have been downloading for 2 or 3 weeks straight everyday. My IT guy has been shitting his pants!

Yeah - good stuff on there, but what a fuck trying to download some of them. I've been digging through it for the past two hours.

How can I open a .rar archive on Windows XP?

It's not free. I'm still looking - or else I'll forget it and just extract them on my Mac at home.

Gnub-

just grab WinRAR - www.rarlab.com

Direct link:  http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar380.exe

Its still not freeware, theres a nag screen, but it works 100% for free and it works well.

Kthanks, trying it out now. Time to download more vector goodness.

EDIT: WinRAR says it's only good for 40 days. Guess I'll use it while I can.

EDIT 2: One of the download sites just crashed my Firefox for the second time, both times some Russian or Cyrillic language site. Slower than crap to download. What's your secret, DCS?

Keep to the RapidShare and DepositFiles. FileFactory works most of the time. I get pretty good DL speeds, 150-300 KB per second, so i'm happy. Sometimes files go corrupt, so watch out for that, but it's pretty rare. I do download photos, but the vector art and brushes are by far my choice. I am a collector of clipart, fonts, royalty free images. I am no Desinger, but I love when someone asks, "Hey you got a JimLee BoldItalic font, or a photo of a circa 1960s telephone, or a piece of Unicorn clipart?" I just say, yep. I have amassed a collection of digital treasures that would choke a donkey.
