nice! I still can't see a zip download button for all parts yet..

Two examples:

https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/25245
https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/26188

The zip download button only appears for parts that have subparts. However, as you point out below, novice users might not realize that you only need the bare file so I think I'll change this to all parts.

So you have prebuilt the zips in a one timer? I was just creating them with PHP for every request from the .dats - but this approach may create additional computing load on your webservers, so I can understand you want to build static zips.

They're created and served on request. The route is throttled to 60 requests/min as an anti-bot measure.

I have two little additions:

1. Users wont recognize that "no sub parts needed for the .dat" means they may just go with the .dat download - esp. if they once realized there is a dedicated zip button for other parts - my recommendation would be to possible create single .dat zips - just for creating a convenient experience for the (not hardcore LEGO or IT) users.
2. The Download of the zips will just be available from the part details page if I got it correctly? Seems a little hidden - idea there would be to add a direct "Download Zip" right to the regular .dat Download button in the list view of the parts.

1. Addressed above.

2. Good idea. I'll add it that as well.
