You have to check off each file, about 20-100 at a time and then retrieve them. You have to restart your computer after each group. I have almost 17,000 files. If you do the math, it will take me about 1000 hours to retrieve my files from Upline. My question, to myself is why didn't I just stick to my handy portable hard-drive. Sigh. Pass this around. I am a not very techy or savvy computer person and I hope others like me won't be ripped off like this. (There is no warning on the site about retrieval time.)
