Quote - I'm for either, a product library with unlimited downloads, or the 4 download limit with reset option. Either is fine with me if the reset is done within 30 minutes or less of request.
Reason being is that I'm on a dial up account and somedays a sneeze interrupts my downloads, not to mention attempts to do other things on the net at the same time like... surf simple web pages, not so simple web pages like Renderosity here or other 3D merchants I visit frequently can interrupt a GOOD download day.
What I'm more concerned on is finding out about updates.
Each store handles it differently.
Renderosity handles it best (for me), since I can sort my purchase history by last updated. Everyone month, I download the previous months updates.
RDNA is OK, they send email notices. Every month I check that account and download the updates.
DAZ used to be bad. They sometimes sent out email. Other times, you could tell there was an update because it showed up again in your downloads, but since you could only see them for about a week, you might miss them.
DAZ is now terrible. Unless you use DIM, you have no idea that there are updates. And now that they are adding metadata to all the old products, 90% of the updates you see in DIM aren't important if you don't use DS.
