onMaybe somebody in the audience here is a programmer who can either tell us who to batch download the files or even provide a small program or script for us. Pretty please :-)
Because listening to the files on the website is a pretty big pain in the butt and the common ways to mass download files (DownloadThemAll etc.) don’t work.

onI have had long-time plans to download a lot of the available drum samples on conversesamplelibrary.com. But i postponed it for some time now.
Now that i finally wanted to start, it appears that the server is down.. Can you guys confirm this, or do you know something about it?
Does somebody here have a alternative site, or even a cloud or torrent or similar to download the complete set ?
Thank you!
