This is something I've been considering for a while. Would it be possible to make a downloadable version of the archive? That way people won't have to download every single picture manually. That's what? 2000 drawings by now?
It's a lot of footwork to do.

I'm making a zip archive of the currently-available Real Designs folder. My FTP transfer program will be working for another hour -- apparently there are 2,027 drawings in the Real Designs section alone! Well done guys. I will attach it to this post when it's ready.

Wee. You just saved me a lot of work. (So far I'd gotten to Belgium

Thanks a bunch. Now I only have to download the Never-Builds.

Any admin with access to the FTP (gollevainen) can do it. They just need to download the folder and place the contents into a zip archive.

It's just the FTP that's slow, as it does the downloading/uploading one by one. It took my computer 19 minutes to download the Real Designs archive. That's not too bad at all really.

I got it in half that, and I live in the middle of nowhere with basic DSL.

How were you able to download the archive without FTP access and without going to each drawing and saving it?
