(a) Right-click on the screen; you should get options which include View Page Source.
(b) Select and click on View Page Source
(c) On View Page Source, press [Ctrl]+[F] to get Find box
(d) In the Find box, type n.jpg
(e) Either the 1st or 2nd occurrence of n.jpg should be hot-linked, i.e. you could click on it to get a photo

HOWEVER, you don't want n.jpg.

(f) Next to a/o under the n.jpg hotlink should be another hotlink for the photo at the biggest size available, k.jpg, h.jpg, or b.jpg
(g) Click on that hotlink, and you'll get the photo at the bigger size, which you can then save.

I’ve found an even better way to get the biggest-sized photos from flickXr.

Using the 2 versions of the photo below as an example, using the tetrak74 1.0 method of opening View Page Source, then finding the hotlinked photo listed after the hotlinked n.jpg photo, we get:

c1.staticflickr.com/9/8487/8224590032_942c017c32_h.jpg

This is a decent size, 1290 x 725 pixels.

However, if we select a few more occurrences of n.jpg, we get to a list where all the sizes of the photo are listed. They’re listed from the smaller – s.jpg, m.jpg – to the larger – b.jpg, h.jpg, k.jpg, and sometimes o.jpg. To the left of the file names, the width and height for each file is listed.

These file names aren’t hotlinked. You’ll need to manually copy them, then edit the file name listed on View Page Source.

For this photo, the largest size listed is k.jpg. On View Page Source, it’s listed as:

c1.staticflickr.com\/9\/8487\/8224590032_dc1750c3b8_k.jpg

Note that the last block of the k.jpg name is different from the h.jpg name above.

9/8487/8224590032_942c017c32_h.jpg
9\/8487\/8224590032_dc1750c3b8_k.jpg

If you simply replace h.jpg with k.jpg:

c1.staticflickr.com/9/8487/8224590032_942c017c32_h.jpg, then
c1.staticflickr.com/9/8487/8224590032_942c017c32_k.jpg

You don’t get a bigger photo, you get a “file not found”.

Back to the k.jpg version. The \/ parts don’t look good. Simply delete each back slash “\” and keep each forward slash “/”. After this edit, you get:

c1.staticflickr.com/9/8487/8224590032_dc1750c3b8_k.jpg

For this photo, it’s not a huge difference, going from h.jpg to k.jpg. I wanted to use a safe example. You’ll get bigger contrasts elsewhere. For my preceding Mexico City posts, tetrak74 1.0 would have gotten c.jpg sized pics, around 500x700 pixels. tetrak74 2.0 got the bigger k.jpg sized pics, 2048x1520 pixels. Especially for newer photos, 2.0 will get you the much sought-after o.jpgs, 4000x3000 pixels and up.

I know that many OCCers use add-ons/apps that do this and a lot more. That’s great. The one thing about this method is that you can do it directly from flickXr itself.
