Please download only what you need.....
At some point bandwidth could effect the relationship we have with our wonderful site provider.

Free data sets are usually free for a reason . These are not without problems , there are a few that are partial, and a lot with some minor glitches. Since these are all text files you can take the text editor approach, then after some time, you will be in business.
As an example of an automated approach, the scanning cleaner in OptionBT takes eight passes and works well , however this approach is non-trivial ...but you can do it.
