Sounds like Baen's monthly bundles. I download the file, open it with 7Zip, save the individual zip files to my Baen directory and import the files into Calibre.

I wouldn't want to do a download of everything I've bought from a single site in a single file -- 2000+ from Kobo, 400+ from Baen including years worth of bundles, ghod alone knows how many from Gutenberg's various sites and other PD sites, Amazon, Google Play and all too many stores that no longer exist. The only time I can conceive of that I would want that capability is if I suffered a disaster that wiped out my home backups, my off-site backup and my cloud based backup. The home and off-site backups consist of a set of hard drives that get rotated between home and work on Mondays so at most I lose one week. The cloud based backup is run once a day so I should lose no more than 24 hours for that backup set.
