We get this question every so often here at the NGA - we don¹t have a solution right now but it is absolutely something I want to offer in our next version of NGA Images, our open access images website. Some of our clever users have been scripting downloads which has caused some system headaches. Even something as simple as putting all of our images in accessible cloud bucket might be a better option for those users who *really* want to get everything.
So I¹d say - go for it and congrats on the new website and on your open access policy.
