Request: multiple downloads on My Downloads

[Charlie Bell]

I just bought Owen's RGG Bundle. 200 PDFs for $30 is great. Downloading each PDF one at a time on My Downloads? Not so great.

I'd like a way to download multiple files in one big batch rather than downloading singly. Maybe through a check box mechanism that would batch watermark them and put them in one big zip file.

Another solid option would be a button to deliver the file to a Dropbox account instead of downloading it directly. As an example, DTRPG/RPGNow has this function, which I find quite handy.

Finally, fwiw, the thing that auto-initiates a download after 5 seconds is annoying. I don't want to automatically download a thing to my default downloads folder, I want to right click a link to download it to the place I keep all my Pathfinder stuff. The auto download function makes me either cancel it or navigate to a different folder every time. Which is not a problem if I'm downloading 1 file. If I'm downloading a whole AP, or Owen's RGG bundle, a bunch of extra fiddling for each download gets old fast.

I agree that we need to be able to do multiple downloads. I have a couple of subscriptions and it is very annoying to download one pdf at a time. If that's not bad enough the page jumps to the top of the screen to let me know it should automatically download and I have to search for where I was in order to click on the next one. Paizo I love you but your download page sucks.

Go to the settings for your browser and select that you want to choose where to download. Then your next download will ask you where you want to download to. It will default to the last choice so if that's where you want it to go just click OK.

@Zindrel: Have you looked at the time of that post? Dez 2016

I agree with the statement that the download page needs an overhaul.
10 years of subscription PDF's and some individual purchases, I'm at over 1200 PDF's.

Yeah, sorting by date added and date last updated helps, but if my hard-drives I have my downloads on both crash or get corrupted, I dread having to download and organize the PDF's again.
Also: the unzipping!

It would be great to have the option to select (up to xx files/MB) at once and have just one ZIP being downloaded, once the personalization is finished for all the files selected.

I'm presently trying to restructure and update my PDF Library, and it's definately not fun. Useful my download features would be able to filter down to just the one file per chapter options, and filtering by ranges and sub ranges (i.e. just to the RPG Line, or Strange Aeons)

I'm at over 1300 products to download, and the hardddrive I was using for them just failed (more accuratly - my 2 year old grabbed it and threw it across the room, damaging the platters) . I know the ability to checkmark multiple downloads has been a often requested feature (this was the most recent post of over 30 threads I found requesting it). Is there any headway in this area, or am I going to have to click download over 27000 times to get my digital library set up again?

I got a ton of Pathfinder ebooks through Humble Bundle and batch download would be amazing.

What's amazing is the *lack* of batch downloading capability.
