Downloading NOAA Charts for East Coast

I want to download the NOAA RNC and ENC charts for the East Coast & Lake Ontario. Regions 02, 03, 04, 06, 07, 08, 10 & 26

On Rpi 4B, using BBN and OpenCPN 5.6.2

It going to take years to download & install all these charts!
Am I missing something?

I'm pretty sure the pre-COVID installation was a lot simpler & faster...

Added 16 Catalogs & updated them.
Select a single Catalog, cannot select all (eg. RNC Product Catalog 02 Region).
Open Download Charts tab shows list of 83 charts, with a 'Download selected charts' button. No 'Select All' !!!

So, I need to click on each of the charts for each of the 16 Catalogs, then Download and finally Apply ?

This workflow does not seem correct.
What am I doing wrong?

A right-click on the chart list and "Select all" from the context menu that gets displayed, maybe?

Re: Downloading NOAA Charts for East Coast

If you go to the preferences of the chart downloader plugin, you can also enable the bulk updates.
It will add a new button to the catalog list, that recursively updates all the catalogs and downloads all the new or updated charts in them. Although I implemented it, I have never actually had any urgency to use it myself...
