[NBLUG/talk] downloading flickr sets?

[Scrappy Laptop]

http://code.google.com/p/flickrdownload/ , for example uses the flickr api to download all photos + the metadata.  Don't know if you'd need her password, though...

I haven't done this with original sizes, but if you have any programming
experience, the api (http://www.flickr.com/services/api/ ) is very easy
to use. 

If you're not a programmer, I think there a few perl and python scripts
out there that do exactly what you're asking for. I don't have any
specific links, but I would look for something like a flick linux backup
script.

Hope that helps,
