I'm a bit nervous to try.

You'll have to create a secondary/dummy account to find out...

Some new restrictions on download for Free account are coming next May 15...

We’re rolling out a service update to Flickr’s download options for free accounts, and we want you to know what to expect. Starting May 15, Flickr will restrict downloads of original and large-size images (larger than 1024px) owned by free accounts. If you use a free account, this update applies to both your own content and to content shared by other free members.

I'm able to find a pic no matter what they say about it not being able to be Downloaded, then pick out the Size I want and its done just by this Simple method!

New policy starts on May 15th. Is that May 15th 2024 or 2025? If 2025, you have a few more days before the new policy starts.
