Recently I needed some images to create a dataset for a project I am doing. While Flickr.com seemed to be the best source. All i needed to do was to put in a query and a large number of relevant images would show up. But downloading original images from Flickr.com can be bit of a mess, let alone a large number of images.
So I came up with a simple three step process to download all the images on a given page easily.
1. Save the html source of the Flickr.com page.
2. Give the source to this C++ code and get download links to all images.
3. Download all the images using FlashGet.
PS: If someone could write a Java script of this C++ code and write a wrapper to automatically get the HTML source, the above can be reduced to just one step.
Should be fairly easy to write it in python using PyUrl.. don’t have time right now but will see if i get any time might try.
Since powershell comes with win7, you can look into the following to write a small executable script

Whoa, whoa, get out the way with that good inforamiotn.
