klondike, i don't think that it takes long on a mac, i think that it takes long because of the way you're doing it. here's a less cumbersome way using hxxp://www.flickr.com/photos/incompertus/5243806970/ as the example:
1. right-click the small thumbnail (over on the right, in this case) and choose "copy image URL," or similar. here, it's hxxp://farm6.static.flickr.com/5044/5243806970_51a0ae75b9_s.jpg.
2. paste the thumbnail URL into your address bar, and change "_s.jpg" to "_b.jpg".
3. save the image.
i believe "_b.jpg" always works. in some cases, however, you can do "_o.jpg" to get a higher resolution image if the user uploaded one above certain dimensions.
depending on your browser, you can access protected flickr photos more quickly than the above. i know that google chrome (or chromium) makes it easy.
