The element is the spaceball.gif which loads above the image. Once you block the spaceball gif you can download any photo whose downloading is disabled. It just takes a couple of minutes to set up and then you can download the photos by the same method you use for photos whose downloading is not disabled.

The text below is part of the message that appears in the initial dialogue box.
Blocked element:
<DIV
class="spaceball" >

I hope this explanation is clear enough to follow.

I find it quicker to right click the image and select "View Page Info".

Then Click the "Media" tab and scroll down the various images to the picture. The pictures come up in the bottom of the window and you will recognise the Flickr file name in any event. There is a "Save As" button to make life easy.

The "Page Info" is also available from the Tools Menu.

Flickr Remove Spaceball : http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/3864

Works on Chrome and Firefox (with Greasemonkey), it adds a "Download" button to download disabled images and also and "Original" button on download authorized images to download the biggest ones, as shown in the pictures below :

I've used the methods above in the past with Firefox when saving Flickr "disabled" photos, but there is a MUCH easier and faster way to bulk download the largest available sizes, page by page, or set by set, using "ImageHost Grabber" add-on for Firefox. You can go page by page and run the add-on and download all the images on that page number, go to the next page, repeat, and so on; or if you prefer to browse by sets/collections, you can run imagehost grabber on those pages as well. The add-on will find and retrieve the largest size the owner has available to view, whether or not "downloading has been disabled" by the owner. [i.e. if the owner has _o, or _k sizes it will find them, otherwise the add-on will retrieve the next smaller size, _b, i believe?]. Below is a screen capture of the IHG as I use it. [I'm not a schill for the author of the add-on, lol, nor am I affiliated in any way with them, I just wanted to share what a useful add-on IHG is, as it works not only on flickr but most image hosting sites like imagevenue, sharenxs, imagebam, etc. that you can read about on the add-on's description page]. IHG is pretty configurable as well, will rename downloads, skip duplicates, etc.
