Our customers would also like at some point to download all the questions and posts of a Category …  
This might be a silly request as I think this is NOT possible. But before I go and answer them: is this possible???

This is not possible as a user.

However, you can download **all** posts and topics etc. You go to [Discourse Meta - The Official Support Forum for Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/my/activity) there is a button that looks like this

Ah, so a User is able to download only posts and topics where he was involved. Which can be a topic he created or where he just replied to a post. But it will never be a complete topic, right?

That’s right just their activity is downloaded.

You can print/save/download a complete topic by pressing CTRL+P while in a topic.
