This weekend, I had to write an application to download some album sets from Flickr. A friend sent me a guest pass for a couple of his albums, but none of the downloaders I found could handle guest passes or redirects. Since it works pretty well, I thought I’d package it up and make it available for other Mac OSX users. It’s freeware - enjoy.

Thank you and congratulations! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Is there any futur update that will allow to download images in their original (full) size?
Thanks again.

Glad you’re finding it useful. Unfortunately, FF already downloads the photos at the highest possible resolution… if Flickr has any resolution higher than that in their database, I haven’t seen it. As far as I know, Flickr downsamples photos during the upload process!
