Saving Photobucket picture and album

This topic has been discussed on many blog and website but i decided to write it on my own experience. I asked my friend to give some photo and told him to email it to me but it is to big to be emailed. So i asked hime to upload it to some free file hosting but he refuse because the number of download is limited and the file will be gone before i knew it. so, he upload all his 250 picture to photobucket and give the link to his album.


CLICK PICTURE FOR LARGER PREVIEW!


And of course, i don't want to waste my time clicking and saving the picture one-by-one at a time. because if i do that, i'll have to open 250 pages of picture. WOOooOOO!!!!

Luckily, i encounter this one tutorial about downloading the whole album from photobucket but sadly, it's outdated.

so, i made a few tweak to the tutorial and voiLLa.. i manage to download all of the picture in about 1 minute.

Follow this tutorial...

Getting the ALBUM link
If you have some friends who had uploded their picture on Photobucket, you should ask them about the link to their album.

or, if juz want to download some picture from other people album (a total stranger to you).
basically, you can use the search function in photobucket or just use the readily-made-for-you tags.

when you click the tags or use the search function, you will be presented by the result

when you hover to one of the picture, it will show you the author (the uploader) name color in blue.



the author's name can be used as the album link to. if you click the name, you'll be redirected the album. here, you will see the picture he/she has uploaded.




DownThemAll

ok, when you done adding the add-ons you are good to go.
