Save purchases without installing?

Hi!

I've made my purchases :)
I would like to download them and save them for future reinstalls without having to go online again.
Is there a way this can be done without going through the Install Manager that I have?
I don't want to mess up my files when I download them!
Would it be better if I downloaded each separately to save them?
Thank You!

    You can still use DIM to download them.

    There is a check box on the Ready to Download tab which says 'Install after Download', just un-check that box.

    If you still don't want to use DIM, then just download the ZIP files, and store them somewhere.

    "Thank You JimmyC_2009!"
    I appreciate your help!
    I'll try your first suggestion (un-checking the box), I think downloading this way.. I won't miss any.. (I made a lot of purchases)!

    Yes that would be the best way.

    DIM can be very useful.

    As Jimmy said, it's easy to just download the files so you can install them when it's convenient for you. That's exactly what I do. Of all the products I've purchased over the past 9 1/2 years I've been shopping here, I only have about 15-17 items installed with DIM, and that was mostly to try it out.

    Just using DIM for downloading is a lot easier than going to your Product Library and having to download the files individually. I backup the zip files to my external about twice a month, and that way I know they're always available if my laptop ever dies.

    BTW, if you decide to install an item at a future date, you can always place any downloaded zip(s) back into the folder you used for downloading, and you can then use it to install the item by selecting it and clicking Start Queue button at the bottom left corner of the Ready to Install Tab.

    In the DIM there is a also a checkbox that says delete file after install. I don't check it. I don't know where the files are but they are there.
