Good luck finding this as a all in one down load. The problem is the vast amount of data involved would slow down most servers to a crawl. The only place I can think of that has all in one downloads is MEGASCENERY EARTH.
About the only thing you can do in a case like this is to have a download handler that allows multiple downloads of the same file
Here is one link to such a program http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/

Scenery Mesh.

What I have always done in the past is to just download and install the selected areas which I particularly like to fly!

Its only a couple of megabytes then!

The alternative is to purchase something like FS Global SE which covers the whole world on one, or more, DVD's...a much better solution!

Yes ive been downloading them 2 at a time so far ive gotten the entire Africa,Portugal,Australia,Cuba,Colombia, and Spain including the phillipines. All of them from this site with the exception of Philippines and Australia.

Id like to know if there is Mesh in this package that may cause an issue i read somewhere that there is a mesh out there that cause the sim to crash any ideas?

One of the advantages of installing the selected areas in separate "named folders" is that they can be "un-ticked" in the Add-on Scenery Library if there is a problem with one or more of them.
...much better than installing all the individual files in one huge folder and being unable to locate the problem one!

Not this one. The Stephen Rothlisberger files are absolutely fine (and exclusive to Simviation). We have always tested unknown uploads and responded immediately to any reports of any problem here.

These mesh files have been downloaded 100's thousands of times since they came out several years ago - but like others have suggested I would recommend downloading areas at one time. That way you can also install them in a managable way 8-)
