Moodle: Bulk download of uploaded assignments

This semester I've been more diligent about getting the students to upload their assignments onto Moodle rather than handing me hardcopies or emailing them to  me. What's nice is that - compared to an email - the student can see that their file was posted, and it gets a timestamp too. Today I had a bunch of files to download and here's where the magic came in - clicked on "download files" and it downloaded the whole batch of assignment as a single folder, labeled with the student names too. The part about adding the student names is pure genious. I always request that the students label their files in a specific way to make it easy for me to figure out who's is who's but they always forget - not a problem now!
