Need to Download and Backup Sets From Flickr?

There are certain kinds of computer utilities you don’t need every day, but they’re awfully nice to know about when you do need them.

FlickrDown falls clearly in that category. It’s a free Windows utility that allows you to download complete Flickr photostreams, sets or groups. It’s a great way to backup your own Flickr account or to grab other public sets or groups that you really enjoy. If you want to download private pictures you’ll have to authorize their download through Flickr (you’ll be prompted).

The program allows you to search Flickr by username, e-mail address, tags, or groups.

The program needs Microsoft .NET 2.0 to operate. If you haven’t installed that, there is a link to the download from the FlickrDown webpage.
