Convenience, mostly. I can see how downloading a large group of Public Domain books at once, instead of having to hunt around for individual titles, would be nice. Sure, you may not be interested in all of them, but it's a lot easier to sort through the collection once you have it on your local PC than to try and sort through various sites looking for specific stuff. As you say, book downloads are not very big so grabbing a large set wouldn't take up that much bandwidth.
