Yes, I purchased the use of the site for $250.
I downloaded all of the objects and built my own library.

A few things I saw was you can only download any object two times in the year. When I was downloading, I had winzip issue every now and then and it would fail SO I would down load it again and drop the wireless line... then you are stuck. I did not like that.

---

On downloading the library, I found that some objects were the same as other objects with different names... except when you down load it as A.rtf and then again as B.RTF... (that is 2 downloads) and it has a third name, you get a failure.

Also noticed that their database had some issues that you would pick a name and it downloaded something else...

===

OK... I am a QA guy in the software world...

SO what I did was go to download it and use the SAVE button to a directory on your machine.
One on your machine, double click on the file to uncompress it with winzip...

I looked at a few of the files and they were fine

I now have everything saves onto a DVD and also online. about 5G of files

Thanks for the reply Bob. Did you contact the people who run the site regarding the problems you had?

Seems like they could be easily confused with James Booth's site

Phil,

Yes, I sent them a list of files with incorrect names and was able to download them correctly a couple of days later. They also reset the number of downloads on a couple of files.

every now and then, I look to see if there are additions but there is no easy way to see what is added except by eye...

I have an excel sheet with a table of contents by subject matter.
