Just download the PDFs...? The filenames all follow some pattern as I recall, so you could even script it.
Why people rely on links, especially on something that has had a history of changing so frequently as those from MS, instead of downloading stuff when it's an available option...I'll never understand.

I am going to download it, but the pattern is not that easy.
Code samples are named correctly, the rest have cryptic names not that correlated as I would like.
If I have to do it manually... it will take a time, but I will do it too

I just had a look, and it seems like you're correct - it's definitely not the simple "https://...xxxxxxxxxxxMMYY.pdf" pattern I thought I remembered. Even scraping the page for links to .PDF files might not be that easy. Sorry about that.
I've been getting them one-by-one as they've been coming out for years now, so I never had a big queue to catch up with.
I'd be happy to zip up and share my collection as a single file [*], but my upload bandwidth is well under 1mbps, flakey as hell, and tends not to resume interrupted downloads all that well (or uploads in this case).
The only single-file download I can find right now is the old 2000-2002 archive, at archive.org, but clearly this isn't what you want...I have little doubt someone somewhere might have the whole collection available through a one-click download - these are the sorts of things people tend to make available that way.
[*] They're free downloads, I'm sure the copyright police at MS would look the other way for something like this...?

Very nice from you, but don't worry...
Ken told below, that they are moving the whole content to the "Docs" area.
If I get dead times in from of the computer, I will start downloading on my rhythm. Thank you anyways for the offer.

No, it will be migrated over to Docs, along with all the magazine content.
