you did very well by coding this program.. i searched the web and i think this is the only way to download your original photo files.. i am a .net programmer, too. i am planning to create a new program where my friends could easily download their photos from my flickr site. so i am curious about the way you programmed this. did u use the .net wrapper for flickr api? i think i saw something like that on the net. is it possible to let the program download the original files with the flickr api?
thanks a lot!

I think FlickrDown is great, the best program but I like you will improve the program so it can download all the picture not till 500, and it will better to add a checkbox every row or column so you can choose mo rapidly the photos to download,
This is a great and unique utility. Only options missing are the ability to download favorites AND photosets!

favorities
I've just downloaded Flickrdown and tried it out -- and it's awesome! Great job, very handy tool. The "only" thing would be to download own/someone else's favorities -- are you planning to do that as well?
Cheers,

Hi, your tool is the tool I need, no doubt. I downladed it but when I try to connect he generates a 404 error. I'm behind a proxy (configured in the options as http://192.168.1.254, with user&pw) allowing only http traffic.
Where is the problem?
Solved: I found that the problem was in the LAN settings of Internet Explorer: they were set to not use the proxy (I use firefox). I fixed the Internet Explorer LAN setting and everything was right
Flickr has changed the way they store original photos now... so your program 2.0 is GREAT for the older photos, but no longer works on the newer ones.. :(
Will you be updating a new version? If anyone can figure this out, everyone is betting on you :)
Not able to Authorize or connect using Flickdown 2.4.3
I am using flickrDown 2.4.3 for downloading pictures from flickr where my pictures are going to die after this week by flickr. When I try to Authorize it says the remote name could not be resolved - 'api.flickr.com (9999) -
I set up the proxy and username /password then I got "Not Found (404)"
I am behind the firewall and we are using automatic configuration script to connect to the internet.
Please please help me to connect and get my pictures back :(
I don't know how to help you except to suggest you use a different computer in a different location like at home instead of work or at a library or internet cafe or ask a friend to download them for you. One that is not behind a firewall etc. It could be any number of things and if you only have a few days to figure out the problem that's my best suggestion
well, someone posted this on the flickrdown main page.
"unable to connect to remote server (9999)"
I see people are getting this error. I got the same until I told my firewall to allow flickdown internet access.
FlickrDown is great (and much easier/faster/smoother than FlickrAide)
I lost a few hundred edits of photos when my internal HD died (I'd backed up the originals but hadn't done the edits yet).
It took me a while to find FlickrDown (you should have a Group on Flickr like FlickrAide does--much easier to find them). I found FlickrAide first and spent all this time trying to get it to work (finally, seemed to but just downloaded PHOTO CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE for every shot).
Yours worked right out of the box. Very intuitive. Fast. Functional.
Thank you! You have saved me hours of effort. I'm very grateful.
Steven
