Uploading Free Stuff

I noticed a potential problem for people using Geocities, Angelfire, or other free website providers that don't allow off site file links. The second address window on the upload page is gone. There's no way to load an .html page address instead of a .zip file address.

Hi Hasdrubal. I've been trying to thank you for all the brilliant
stuff you've put on this site. It must have taken years to create all those fantastic characters. I just hope people appeciate all that great work that you have done for the 3D community. Cheers!

Has- Why not just link to the site rather than linking directly to the file.
If you put in a fake zip file when you first create the upload here on the Animotions, then go in to modify the upload, you can change the zip to direct just to an HTML file. That way you can point right to the website, loaded with the downloads themselves. I use to do that when I first started sharing my files.

Some of the freebe files were done as links to .html pages. The bug I was having trouble with was fixed long ago.
