First of all, I readily admit that I'm a computer idiot. I'm lucky this box has one button to turn it on and off! So if this is an easy thing, just tell me and keep the name-calling to yourself!

Is there a way I can download all those backgrounds and use them as a rotating screensaver?

There are certainly free screensavers you can download that let you pick a set of image to use, yes.

Half.......Are you using a PC or a MAC?

On my MAC I go to the System Prefs...... then to desktop&screensaver.

This will allow me to put pictures in a file to use as the screensaver.

Windows ME and up has a screen saver option that shows all pictures in the My Picture folder as a screen saver.

Edit: Once you pick the My Picture Sideshow you can click on Settings and change it to any folder you want with pictures in it.

PC. I tried Apple years ago but broke a tooth eating the granola.

It's the downloading I'm getting wrong, me thinks. When I try it seems to overwrite the previous one. Maybe a folder with each image saved to a sub-folder would work?
