If you read under the product description, it says that this product will be available from midnight on the 8th September 2006 and available for 4 days.  :nod:

Post by: Colonol Dekker on September 05, 2006, 09:52:57 am
Yeah, then the price goes back up, but i got an invoice number and e-mail saying i paid the full cost of ZERO, meaining i own a copy. I have legal proof, They OWE me one.

Muahahahah !

Post by: Wobble73 on September 05, 2006, 09:59:22 am
What's the bet that you will recieve the very same message when you try to download it after the 8th until after the 12th when you will receive a message that will say, " We're sorry but this promotion has now ended, but if you still wish to purchase a copy......."  ::)

Post by: Colonol Dekker on September 05, 2006, 10:02:45 am
At which point i will insert a part of myself in their ear until i get my free copy or an infection, Whichever may come first.

I checked again, and its in the "my purchases" section, Surely if they go back on it, theres some e-legal e-course of e-action i could e-take?

Still waiting for the confirmation Email, I've been looking for a newer version of Poser to work with Vue 5 for a while, since you can port animations directly from Poser 5 to Vue ;)

...It shows me that it's (was) available from 1st September 00:00:00 to 4th September 23:59:59... :wtf:

Additionally, I was not even able to register. When I tried, it just didn't seem to do anything to submit the information, but instead it left me onto registration screen with all the info I wrote onto it, except password and pw-confirmation became blank.

Sour, said the fox of rowan berries...

Nyaargh! Download limit is exceeded, try again later, however, the Poser free download will apparently be available to me permanently from now on.

Well whaddya know, I'm actually downloading a "setup.exe" 286 meg, (normally my Corporate network woul have it in 28.6 seconds) but my conn has dropped to 10K per sec on this site, so i dont reccomend it to any 56K'ers.........

(i'm just gonna lock my laptop down and leave it on wireless in my desk drawer to continue the DL if it doesnt finish before i do)
Title: Re: Poser 5; free
Post by: Colonol Dekker on September 06, 2006, 06:33:57 am
Double Post Apologies,


Just finished the first bit, it stopped at 62.7meg,whether i need to get more parts i dunno It may have timed out through being pants. The download count says 1 of 10 so i guess I'm only alloweed 9 more goes. I cant get back on it yet so i'm stuck with a non functioning EXE for now.

[If you don't understand that last sentence, never mind, it's a Finnish proverb translated into English.]

Since it comes from an Aesop fable, it's known in English too. ;) But we would write something like: "Those grapes were sour anyway," said the fox.

Anyway I was able to register easily (fake registration info FTW!) and "purchase" the software, but it tells me I have to wait a few hours before downloading it.

No fair, it doesn't like my fake registration info LOL

I actually got to download it earlier.. and then it just stopped after a while.
It's kind of ironic how hard it is to get this when it's free, considering how easy it is to just pirate it instead :p

You have to be consistent.  I just looked up the address of a post office in San Diego and voila, I was in.  (I live on the East Coast btw.)

So after this passes, can I still download it if I already got the receipt?
Title: Re: Poser 5; free
Post by: Sandwich on September 08, 2006, 07:29:20 am
They totally missed the opportunity to take advantage of BitTorrent with this... would have been perfect.
Title: Re: Poser 5; free
Post by: Flipside on September 08, 2006, 10:06:56 am
Has anyone actually managed to complete the download of it yet?
Title: Re: Poser 5; free
Post by: Colonol Dekker on September 08, 2006, 10:17:08 am
I got a 65 meg unworking file that was meant to be 250+ meg, The conn was 10k per sec on a 10MB per second corporate netwok......   I'm not getting my hopes up, if i do manage to get it though i may *coughsharecough* in the community spirit.  :nervous:
Title: Re: Poser 5; free
Post by: Flipside on September 08, 2006, 10:39:55 am
I've got a number, just not the program, may look at torrents....
Title: Re: Poser 5; free
Post by: Scooby_Doo on September 08, 2006, 03:41:38 pm
Weee I got registered but I got stuck at checkout.

Edit: YAAA got it to work... first download got up to 32MB then quit... I managed to copy the url and trying to download it within Opera (since it has resume).  It says it's a setup.htm, but when you open it's got that "unable to run in DOS mode" executeable header bit, so I'm guessing just rename it to setup.exe.  This is assuming I don't die of old age before.  Currently at .5%  :lol:

Double Edit: I agree with flipside... torrents.

  Riots have started for less (I saw a video where some store were giving out free concert tickets and ran out, it got ugly!)
Title: Re: Poser 5; free
Post by: Sandwich on September 10, 2006, 06:53:42 pm
I'm about 7 minutes from the Content CD finishing; the setup.exe already finished. Methinks they fixed their bandwidth issues.
