I'm with you on that one. If I can't download in one lump to print it out
or store for archival use, then its of no real value to me. I am not going
to memorize a couple of steps, then run to the Lego room and build, come
back and do the process all over again because I have to look at it on the
internet. On larger models, a person like me with low bandwidth could spend
hours trying to download invidual page scans. I think that would take up
even more bandwidth.
