I'm happy to report that the Offline Edition (formerly called the "bulk download") is back in service. In order to get it to cooperate with this spring's site redesign, I had to rewrite most of the code, which means that there may still be a few glitches. Please let me know if you have any problems with it.

You'll now find some handy tools when you hover your mouse over the tiny ATI icon at the top left of each page inside the website. If you have any difficulties using this popup menu, please let me know.
