@nathanielwarner regarding nathanielwarner/flightgear-photoscenery; i hacked together a small wrapper script that allows bulk download.
You just pass it the lower-left and upper-right coordinates and additional arguments for the creator.py script and it will look for all the needed tiles and fetch them. Maybe this is useful for your project; if yes, feel free to include it; or share it on the fgfs mailing list.

⚠️ A word of warning: ⚠️
The script may potentially hammer remote servers and strain their bandwith. Please only use this if you comply to the chosen providers Terms-of-Service! Be aware that loading huge datasets will cost real ressources which have to be paid from the chosen server owner; so use with care. And aks the provider if in doubt.
