Download ALL covers
Zelimpdna:
I think rather than a 'all covers' download, maybe just 'all [console] covers' rar files or something. Maybe even seperate files for each region and template style, too. Personally, I love [a lot of] cover art, and like having it sitting on my computer to look at every so often.
I don't think it'd be too useful for people selling pirated copies, as they'd really only want covers for the few games they're selling.
Might be difficult to keep it up to date, though.

Who wants to pay the bandwith?
Torrents would be the only way to go....
FellipeBr:
Yep, torrent is the only way for that I think, I can help uploading with no problem, only need to download the .torrent from someone.
Kayvin:
I'd like it too, it'd be pretty neat to have on hand. I'd probably recommend setting up torrents by console manufacturer or something, all the Nintendo consoles, all the Atari consoles, etc. Maybe the companies that only released one machine might be grouped together or something as well. Just broken up in a way that prevents having an unreasonably large and unmanageable torrent.
Does anyone know how big the collection of covers sits at? As in, the number of DVDs I'd have to burn it to?
juan0tron:
I'd gladly seed the torrent for as long as possible, I too would like a backup in case the site gets shut down somehow. I'd simply organize it how we have it on the sidebar, in two folders. Console, with proper subfolders for each console then each game, and the same for handhelds. We just need someone to keep track of the RSS feed and the latest covers not added to the torrent. Too bad there wouldn't be a way to automate this process...
