Downloading images from Thumbnails.

As per the title rather than clicking the link for each image I'm hoping to find an add-on or separate program which can download fullsized images from the links.

Trouble is the thumbnails when clicked open an HTML page, not just the image example page so stuff like DownThemAll with Firefox doesn't work.

Anyone know of a quick way to download sets of images without opening each image first?

    Don't remember any such program at the top of my head. I doubt that there exist any software.

    It looks like you need a custom script (website scrapper) which can do the job.

    You can get any programmer to write it for you, will not take more than 1 hr of work.

    view the page source
    find the source location of the thumbnails
    append the location to the url
    truncate the url up a folder level
    you might find the folder with the large images
    navigate into the large folder
    use downthemall :D

    Thanks.

    Can't find the folder if there is one though.

    Just in case anyone's up for a challenge & has time to kill here's a page from the site.

    Then just as an added complication there are some images such as in this album which can be viewed as a 'normal' sized picture or in a larger HD version.
