i have a few bundles of e-books i have bought over the years on Humble bundle and want to download them but i don't want to sit here downloading each file one by one

Is there a easy way to have it all download at once or rather one after the other or something like that? it mentions a torrent option but when i selected it and went bulk download it only gave my a torrent for the first e-book and not all of them - is this a bug?

Haven't done it, but it's a good question as I eventually should grab the hoard, so I looked a bit around. Mostly found older topics, but hopefully something still works out of the listed options

Bulk download starts each individual download one after the other - in the case of a 6-book bundle it's 6 direct downloads, or 6 individual torrent files.
It's possible that you didn't allow HB to download multiple files - that usually blocks download popups after the first.

It is not, torrent is just a way to download content, like how direct download is.

They don't make up custom torrent links based on the content you own, because they only exist individually.

It's like a library - when you borrow 5 books, you won't get a single 2000 page long text between two covers. You get 5 individual books.
