This doesn't answer your question exactly, but a while back I decided I wanted all the clementine images so I wrote a pythonscript to do this. This script works for linux using wget and will attack the JPL servers. JPL doesn't seem to have all the images but they seemed to be the fastest server. In the end, you'll need to budget for a space of about 24G.
