Aesthetic nitpick

Maybe instead of "Download" text, there could be an icon?

Also, a a rating system would be nice.

This may be very individual but whenever a download link is shown in the form of a large image I tend to overlook it. This is probably because some little part of my brain automatically reasons:

if(medium-sized_box && bright_colours){
CriticalThinking.alert("advertisement");
Vision.ignore();
}

I think a text link is more tasteful and quite frankly, it's hardly invisible :)

Well it would be smaller. Probably half that size.

its not really the size... the site is exceptionally clean and functional atm. never surfed so well imo. dont change anything. perhaps just get the mat db up and running again ;) images create clutter in most cases, text is functional and makes the site more comprehensible. if you want fancy gui, deviantart :P but then nicks gonna have some extra dev guys to employ. bwahahaha take out a loan for us nick :D

good work imo benn prefer it.

regards
mat

Instead of a drop down menu, it would be nice, if all the material categories were presented in a flash menu on the right, and when you clicked a category, the mats that went into that category (say "metal") would fade in, in the main window.

Flash is evil, in AJAX perhaps... but not that flashy....

dude neo. seriously. this isn't google, there are a handful of people with limited time and resources who are spending their time making indigo kick ass. think. if you can do some of your own dev on your ideas and submit a semi workable moc up then thats different. otherwise. just be happy with what you get :roll:

meh
