Or even most of them? I'm looking to get a bunch of speedruns to keep my 3 year old entertained (he loves sonic movies in particular) but I'd love to have a sitewide collection.

I really doubt it. Movies are constantly added to this site, so torrent would have to be constantly updated, not to mention it would be an incredibly huge file size after downloading all of it. If you wanted -all- of them, you'd get outdated movies as well. If you want just the regular publications that are ones showcased on the movie page, you can download the mkv files via torrent. From a general standpoint, being able to download a lot at once is nice... But at the same time, it would be very hard to keep updated with the way this site works.

There is an archive containing all torrent files on the site. And also RSS feed linking current encodes. And just the set of current encodes is about 194.54GB as of now.

Here's a thought: Batch torrents by system, updated maybe every four months. Not quite as much work, and easier to spread among the staff.

Completely unneeded. We have a tarball of all current torrents which is generated hourly. If you're looking for something more specific, just point your favorite BitTorrent client with RSS support at our all movies feed, and enter the search parameters for what to include/exclude.
