Bulk Image Downloader is a simple to use yet powerful Web gallery downloading tool. It can download full sized images from almost any thumbnailed Web gallery, bypassing all annoying pop-ups and adverts. Almost all popular image hosting sites (such as imagefap, imagevenue, flickr and imageshack) are supported. Multi page imagefap, flickr, imagereverb and Web forum galleries can be downloaded automatically. It can even handle forum attached images. Partially downloaded or invalid images are automatically retried, and image downloads are resumed where possible. It can also handle images that have had their true locations hidden via redirection sites such as user-cash and image-cash (redirected links are resolved automatically). It integrates with Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera via the right click context menu for even easier downloading.
