The one exception might be in promotional downloads by publishers and authors. If they are offering an ebook free for now, if I think I might ever be interested in it, I download it, now. It might not be legally available next month.

The utility I see in bulk downloading is that the download-prep time (which, per book, is considerably longer than the actual downloading) can be avoided.

Downloading one by one is like loading 200 files onto your liseuse, one at a time, unplugging and plugging back in the USB cable after each book.
