Is 3d-load.net's correct link "https://3d-load.net/" also would you guys say it's better than render-state?
Render-State updates once every couple of days or so, while 3DLoad updates almost daily now. 3DLoad also doesn't make you go through that stupid link-obfuscation/ad-interstitial BS that Render-State uses.
The two sites basically leech off of this site for the most part, but sometimes you can find unique bits that either site admin puts up. Also, not everything here makes it to those sites. Both of them avoid leeching off custom content (a lot of which is pretty good these days - and I'm not talking about my stuff, either!) Finally, they don't/won't leech off anything non-DAZ/Poser.
@pooper Hi, thanks for replying. Yea I know about both sites being leeches although getting older stuff there helps. Also got ublock for tackling that trash redirect thingy but I stopped using render-state.
But is the link for 3dload correct tho? : https://3d-load.net/ / 3d-load.net
It's not a fake one like 3dru right?
Yes that is the correct link.
Before I came here - I use to use 3D-load a lot. Every now and then I look there, if I want to find something (like a dead post, for example). That is the correct address.
@joelj @inversekinematics Thanks for also confirming the link. I was using both 3d-load and render-state before I knew Zone existed and was the source for the leech sites.
I just recently saw in different discussions about zone members using 3d-load for backups and wanted to make sure i was using the correct site.
RS has more content than 3d-load. RS often has content that isn't available here. 3d-load almost never does. 3d-load has a better download process than RS (mentioned above by grouchy). RS usually updates twice a week (sometimes only once a week) while 3d-load usually updates daily (also mentioned by grouchy). RS links stay active longer than 3d-load links. 3d-load is less reliable since the guy who runs it doesn't know enough to deal with any issues that come up. RS seems to be run by people who know what they're doing.
Yup, the link is correct. I've often used 3DLoad since I didn't like to wait for my downloads in RS and after the UI overhaul, it has become more modern and easy to eye ig
@melonlord I noticed the new UI change too. @ulysses is right that RS has more "older" links still active but 3d-load.net does update faster with newer stuff.
I just tried Render-State and it can royally fuck the hell off. I had to use an alternative browser (PaleMoon) running in a sandbox (Sandboxie) to get around the eleventeen billion tracking cookies and fingerprinting. Trying to download anything using any of the links leads one into an endless loop of shit-sites. It's probably possible to eventually get something, but why the hell bother when it's so simple, easy and straight forward right here.
Re. Render-State: Precisely. NoScript does eliminate that after you tweak things a bit, but you still have to bump through two different pages to get to the goodies, which is pretty dumb.
I understand that siteops have to pay their bills and get something for their time, but that routine is 100% ridiculous. As consequence, I only use it when I can't find something anywhere else.
Render state use to have URLs like this: https:// render-state.to/download/?link=<base_64_encoded_string> and the part after ?link= was the actual download URL but base64 encoded which could be decoded easily. They changed the links recently and this trick no longer works.
