If anyone from HathiTrust is watching this thread, I'd also be curious if
they're considering bulk record downloads via something other than OAI [1].

While the process may not be exactly what you are looking for, it is
possible to use the HathiTrust Research Center's services to do bulk
downloads (of MARC and data records). [2] In a nutshell process is to:

 1. create an account
 2. create a work set
 3. fill the set with HathiTrust items
 4. use the Marc_Downloader algorithm to obtain metadata
 5. use their Data API to obtain full text [3]

I blogged, very briefly, on this subject. [4]
