Ancestry file transfer

There are a large number of files (pdf and jpg) that I uploaded to my Ancestry gallery that did not transfer with gedcom. Is there a reasonable way to move these files to my CET without having to download and upload each one?

    A GEDCOM does not attach media. The only way to bring them over to FS is one by one.

    @Carol Humphrey as Aine suggests, Ancestry will not export any of the artifacts into a Gedcom, and the version of Gedcom that Ancestry currently exports (v5.5.1) does not support artifacts either. Currently, there is no way to create a GEDCOM that would contain artifacts like PDF and JPG. However, there will be a path to accomplish what you are looking for later this year.
    RootsMagic anticipates releasing a version of their software that is integrated with CETs. This software is, and will be, integrated with Ancestry as well. It is expected that, once released, RootsMagic will be able to pull all data from a user’s personal tree on Ancestry into the desktop database. It will then be able to push all data from the desktop into a CET. This should include attached artifacts. (per @Robert Kehrer , CET Product Manager).

    @mynameistk If RootsMagic can get full media download operational that would be a very valuable development. Useful for both making backups and for transferring all data and media.

    Do you know if this to-be-released version of RootsMagic would also be able to perform full media download from FamilySearch?
