Whose waiting 30 seconds? I often choose 3 or 4 books at a time; most of that time is spent browsing. I choose a book, click download and then move on to the next one. At most I am waiting on the last book I download. Even then what is more common is that I am organizing the books in my computer and ebook reader to make them easier to find later (I store books in a top down folder structure where the top level is genre, then author and finally books),
I really, can't see how I would save much time if I had a method of selecting what books I wanted to download and then downloaded them all at once.
Personally, this whole torrent business suggests a hording mentality. I don't see most of the free sites going anywhere anytime soon, so I see no particular need to download everything I can get my hands on.
