I want to eventually have all of the NES covers for the blog I am working on. Is there a torrent that has all of them or do they have to be all downloaded individually?

They have to be downloaded individually.

This is a super common request and we don't make it available for a few reasons:

1. Maintaining a torrent isn't something we have the resources to do
2. Providing full dumps would be huge on the bandwidth side. Jan of 2015 had us pushing nearly 700GB of bandwidth.

OK, thanks for the responses. My project is going to take many years to complete and when the website was temporarily down this weekend I got nervous because I've been getting the covers as I go rather than getting them all ahead of time. Lots of links to click!

Yeah, it's definitely not ideal, but I haven't had time to find a better way to ensure the integrity of the collection while also making it easier to pull down the covers.

I was trying to find one the other week when the site was down. Would be cool to have a yearly torrent or something.

Here.. You can right click the "UGC" folder and download the entire folder as a big zip..
