Xbox 360: redownloading DLC after license transfer

I recently bought the Final Fantasy XIII Xbox bundle and did the license transferring to tie all my dlc to the new console. Now I have just have to redownload everything.
Since i have around 500 items between dlc/songs/games, is there some faster way to do this then redownloading one at a time every item in my download history?

Yeah this. Put them all in your active downloads, go have some lunch and come back. It'll download them right after another.

EDIT: It should be a list of everything you have a license for there.
I don't believe this is the case. While you don't have to wait for each individual file to finish downloading before starting the next, you do have to select each file from the list and initiate the download manually.
Why they didn't have some sort of feature where it would check Live to see if you'd flagged your account for a license transfer and offer to re-download your content, I have no idead. Individually selecting 400+ items (with pregnant pauses between accepting button presses) really redefines tedious.
This is true. Basically, the simplest process is: Turn your xbox on, and leave it idle (with auto-poweroff disabled) and logged into your live account. Go to www.xbox.com, sign in with your profile, and access your account history. Hit 'download' on every item in turn.
With this process, while it's slow, you can queue up 30 items at a time. So queue up a page or so's worth, go away, come back, do it again, etc, until you've finished.
Alas, 30 is the maximum that can be in the queue at any one time, but the xbox will continue to empty it even as you're adding stuff.
Sadly, yeah, this is a giant pain, but it's a process that doesn't happen often enough to require significant more work, I'm guessing. Ideally, it should let you use checkboxes and 'download selected'
If you do it over the Live website, and then log into your 360, will there be a giant queue waiting for you to start the download? I looked at the option online, and it had everything listed with a checkbox next to it. Not hard at all. Probably take about 30 seconds to a minute depending on how much stuff you had.
The queue can only be 30 items long at any one time. Even if your Xbox is off. I haven't seen the checkbox option you speak of before, but i last did this almost a year ago. Perhaps they added it. Either way, the limit (last i heard) was 30 at a time.

Yeah. I had to redownload everything after my xbox came back from repair to get it to work for people that aren't me on the same console. Giant pain in the butt. I own too much music, clearly.
