May I just say something to add to this
To be fair, the UKTS free download server is basically useless, and to get any value you need to buy at least a month's access. You need to pick wisely on the route front to get the best value out of the service. Watch out for large high spec routes that you may not be able to run on your PC. What routes were you having trouble with Jordy, as most problems can be resolved after a search on the UKTS forum.
In terms of free routes LGV Med is a great free french route, showing the new TGV extension in southern France. A great high speed experience! See here:

Download from Funtrain - as far as I am aware, there is no download queuing.
If anybody has anything constructive to add to this thread, I'll reopen it if i deem it to be worthy enough, as there is probably more to be said.
