When I first saw this new download system, I assumed it was a new effort at security, to be able to track who downloads what files and from whom.

The instant unusual files appear, with odd unnecessary file structures and a library that phones home.... well, all vendors in the 3D community know that non-paying downloaders are a problem and I don't see DAZ lowering its security by using simple zip files.

I have always manually placed content, due to having my own library structure. I found the new DAZ system too disconcerting to bother with and have essentially given up on them.
