Many, many thanks to both of you!

Try adding the pic owner as a Flickr friend

Can you down load private files with that program?

Use Firefox, install Greasemonkey, and the "Allsizes +" script, right click then gives you the option to choose any of the available sizes regardless of spaceball.gif

That only gets you the public stuff.

Thank you very much for this tidbit!

Folks, there is also a way to batch download images from Flickr using a freeware program called Downloadr.

It's a handy little program to have and works perfectly. It allows you to point it at a Flickr account and download every image within its folders in one go. I can't post the link as I'm new here and the forum wont let me post urls until I have 10 posts but if you Google "downloadr" you will find it easily. Hope that helps some folk!!.

Oh and as I said, I'm new here so "Hi!!!".

It allows you to view all picture files I've found so far, you can also view zip and rar files without unzipping them, I found it on a bittorrent site and it was easy to find.
