Hi, Downloading bulk reports from the CPAN Testers Report site is not currently supported, due to the large amount of data required for most distributions and the disk I/O it can generate. Even restricting to version, or other filters, can still list 100s of reports (which are not small any more). Hence why we supply the cpanstats metadata. There is a plan to provide a search site into the metabase, but this isn't likely to happen until we have a new MongoDB backend database up and running. This also will make use of the structured data currently being used to generate most of the reports these days.
The reports you see currently on the site are displayed the best way for both v1 and v2 style reporting. Including the raw mode. This is due to the problems we have had with encoding. If you wish to parse these reports, please use Andreas' module as above.
