Bulk download?
Hi, is there a way to download a number of releases at the same time? Downloading every release individually can be a bit of a chore. I would like to be able to download for instance "all C64 demos from 2007" in one go. |

Come to think of it: It would be cool if some group started to release stuff focusing on certain historical periods of the C64 scene.
For example, imagine a collection of all the releases from the party in Bergen 1990, along with some extra features like pictures, charts and contemporary mag reports. Or let's say, memorabilia from cracker wars of 1990! Pure nostalgia put together to celebrate and remember, and not least to educate and inspire us assholes who missed out on all the fun back then. :)
Anyway, I also do batch downloads from CSDb and I fully acknowledge that site admins are usually not very happy about this! I put in a few seconds of random delay between downloads, sometimes even minutes, to be nicer to the server, but still.

I have noticed that csdb already has a multiple download prevention check, 2 downloads don't start from the same ip, the 2nd download starts only when the 1st is almost finished. |

*download.php* is the key ;)
How exactly does this work? Everytime i try to do this i get a "you are creating a huge load" warning. I tried DTA and have set it to only do 1 file at a time. I eventually would like to download all the releases here, but without creating problems for the site. |

set a proper delay between requests, like a couple seconds or so |

Why not provide periodically a dump of whole release database? This may be later distributed as Torrents or uploaded to AWS servers for example.
Just my 2 cents... |

CSDb is already available as bulk, with weekly updates. I am not sure the collection is available publically yet, though. I like the idea to have the database mirrored and available for bulk download elsewhere. |
