      Excuse me for partly abusing this forum…

      Do others also get “500 – Internal Server Error” when trying to visit http://www.blender.org?
      I have this phenomenon the last couple of days quite often so to say…

      Anyone…?

      About the Blender Material Repository:

      As I visited in the beginning and as it is right now, the goal isn’t to download all materials at once but to get it at the time of need… This does require internet where you work(3D), which I don’t have…

      So if there’s a change to download packages in the future and the other hand, I have bad experiences with materials from others…besides I find it not too hard to make a material myself, materials from other which are made in a different scale are useless until you try to re-scale them to match an unseen-version…you also have to do this for all textures used in a material…

      Yes, it is great, but all the downloads are in .blend files!? Is there a pic link?
