FlickrDown to archive your Flickr photos*

If FlickrDown works as it says it does, this is definitely going to be a useful app.

This small Windows application provides a simple way to pull down a large portion of your Flickr photos at a time. You just give it your Flickr credentials, pick which sets of photos you want to download and it does the rest--putting them in tightly organized file folders on your local machine. Sure you could just download the original of each shot from Flickr's pages, but that doesn't scale.

The app requires at least version 2.0 of Microsoft's .NET runtime, which you might already have installed if you're a user of Paint.NET. Also worth noting is that the tool cannot pull down any videos you've uploaded. If you want to do that you should check out a tool called Orbit++. (Source)

For you persons who've uploaded hundreds of photos to Flickr, then suffered a pc crash, you can easily use this to archive those photos on your pc after your reinstall.
