u want to download all the modules?!? may i ask... why on earth would u want to do that???
if using ots2 themes, the modules which are needed are downloaded when u install the theme.. older themes have all the modules included...
now.. when all the modules would be packed it would be like... huge! i don't know your connection speed but i guess it'd take more than an afternoon to dl that file ;) and even if they were put together there would be no point in it cause modules are being updated all the time and managing that huge download file would be totally unpractical if not impossible.

you could use an offline reader to "rip" the entire archive of shellfront.org =)
however, i'm with Egonz here

I wouldn't recommend stealing anything like that from anyone. The community as a whole really frowns upon it.

now, if shellfront or loose-screws were to seed a torrent of the module archive with monthly updates or something like that...

well i got broadband 576k connection and i personally have no probs with huge files and leaving my comp on all night, its just that i have had some problems getting some themes workinh and a lot of the modules arent downloading i figured this would be easier for me, personal preference i guess, well thanks for the feedback, worth asking at least.

if you are having problems downloading modules for themes leave a comment on the theme and contact the author...they prolly messed something up. As for your connection...it would probably take you 3 or 4 days to get the whole archive. The archive I got from demigod years ago was probably in the 3G range compressed.

"I wouldn't recommend stealing anything like that from anyone."

it's not stealing, it's free. but wouldn't be too kind towards the site owners, as they have to pay for it.
