Download sections at a time?
Hey everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask or not, but I was wondering if there was a way to download complete sets (Like all N64 retail covers) at a time or is it only possible to go manually one by one?
Thanks

Manually 1 by 1. Way too many people on Ebay selling our covers to just give them to those suckers with ease. Let alone the bandwidth it would take to support that. Especially since not all the covers are up to par in quality... so many noobs would then complain that the quality is not the greatest and they just wasted time downloading 10GB+ worth of covers.

The main reason would be the increased bandwidth, wich would up the cost and might even require additional or better server.
I don't think any similar site offers bulk downloads aswell, so.
The rest is nonsense, in my opinion...

Bummer, was hoping to store them for myself as a collector. Ah well, this site is great I really hope it never goes down, you guys are doing great work!
Really appreciate the quality scans of art I hadn't got to see in almost 20 years.

A lot of people also upload their covers to various image hoster (mediafire or box.com for example).
Just search through the forums for them.
This way you should be able to download at least some covers in bulk.

This topic bubbles up once or twice every year. The answer will always be the same.
We have kept it this way to save bandwith and prevent abuse.

I started this here website....
Re: Download sections at a time?
For the curious, we burn through roughly 500-650GB of downloads each month. We run perilously close to hitting our limit as it is. I'd love to enable that, but the ads cover our costs today. They wouldn't if we had a $500/month bandwidth bill.
