Downloading All Games At Once

Sort:

I'm a diamond member, and a friend asked me to download his entire history for him. But he's played many thousands of games, and so far I can't find anything more efficient than doing "select all" page by page. Does anybody know if there's a way to request an instant download of his entire history without going through them all by hand like this? Thanks!

Page by page seems to be the only method these days;

It seems a bit odd to have removed this feature, doing it page by page will probably use more resources than downloading all at once - as a professional software develloper I feel that removing useful features is not a good idea for little gain.

 

In any case once they are all downloaded it is possible to keep up-to-date by downloading games as they are completed, so for me at least it is not a huge loss, just a bit strange... Laughing

Just also found this link discussing the same issue;

Stink! I wonder whether they'll put it back if enough people complain.
