Hey asdmjkasndkjasndjkas, thanks for letting us know about this.

What do you mean by downloading by batches? the folder seems to contain more than 40K files, each text file not bigger than a few hundred kilobytes

    Hi asdmjkasndkjasndjkas,

    Since your folder doesn't contain big files, you can workaround files number limitation using script like the one here. 😉

    Good luck.
