I just reinstalled Windows 8 and formatted everything. Now I have to install every steam game that I want again. This is annoying because out of my 151 games I want to install 26.

There's no way to do this, apparently, without using this:

replace X-s with numbers for each game ID.

Or, this guy made a website that scans your account for games and makes an URL in the above way except that it automatically adds all games you have on Steam. That happens to be 125 games too many for me.

Plz maek me a website dat scans ur accont den u clik wat gaems u want and den it makes url and gives it out. plz

You can also copy the relevant files to a backup then copy them from that.

I get the same thing, strange. I know I got it working a while before I made this truck. I didn't test it just before posting though.

My internet is too bad for me to install a game on the day I want to play it. I have to start downloading 3-5 days before depending on the game's size.

Yeah, that would've been a great idea if I owned a external drive.

The steam-cloud uploads and downloads save-info such as how for in a story you've gotten in games, what level your character and what gear s/he has in Borderlands etc.

No external HD and I installed my new SSD. Basicly, I have (had) 3 drives. A is a 2TB HDD, B a 600GB HDD, C a 120GB SSD. I had A(windows) and B installed and I wanted to change it to having C(windows) and A. This meant I needed to format A. I could have moved a steam-backup from A to B, replace harddrives to A C and format+ install windows, replace to B C to move the steam backup over, replace to A and C. Then B would still have files on it, which isn't that great for a drive I didn't mean to ever use again.

Long text, Ahoo!

Yeah, and that's what I was I was looking for but the problem is that I want it more or less automatic, like the website I linked supposedly scanned your account and listed your games via the steam IDs.

I can't find the scanner thing, even though it's obvious it exists.

Have you made your account visible to others?
Mine works fine, at least for me.
