Lets say you've built a formidable collection of photographs on your Flickr gallery and suddenly, due to an awkward rift in the global IT-conspiracy, your photographs get sorted/categorized under a new , suspicious T.O.S and you are forced to move your flickr-collection elsewhere . Or, alternatively, lets say you've lost all your precious hard-disk backups of you past works and want to download your whole Flickr collection and start over. By a strange twist of fate the latter happened to me as I was left with a broken heart and a burnt, 250 GB SATA HDD with most of my photographs inside. I desperately needed to download my flickr gallery by somesort of a " Batch Downloader " as individual downloads would probably drive me crazy.
On came, "Flickr Down", by Greggman. This tiny (~378 kb) app lets you download all your flickr photos in a batch, and at their largest size/resolution. Once the app is installed, you just have to authorize its use first after entering your user name. After the download location is selected, press the small download button and a window like the one on the screencap will appear. You can select individual photographs to backup or select all of them at once. Thats about it :)
Note that, you must have Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework installed beforehand. If you don't have it installed (most folks do these days), then download it from here.
Productivity Tip: Even if you are not planning to backup/download your Flickr collection in a jiffy, you can still download the galleries of your favorite photographer/artist at a single click. Just remain loyal to creative and artistic rights, that's all.
