*Grumble grumble* (Some folks would pay good money for such a prize...) *grumble grumble*.

;)

So one final problem faces me and spits in my eye: Retro Star Wars.  Retro Star Wars is on Facebook, and has an impressive array of photos I've not seen anywhere else.  It also has a whole bunch of jokes and silliness.  The result: close to 16,000 pictures listed on the timeline photos.  When I try to download them in their individual folders, it gets difficult as I have to investigate every folder that seems like it might have something useful, but each folder usually holds between 3 and 6 pictures, with a few exceptions with large folders.  I've downloaded many of the smaller ones picture by picture, while the larger ones or those that are larger with many useful pictures I use a bulk downloader.  After a lot of effort, I worked my way through about a third of the folders.  But the more I scroll down, the slower my computer gets.  If I try to use the bulk downloader to get all 16,000 pictures, the downloader locks up.  I'm willing to download all 16,000 and then pick out the few hundred that I'd actually use, but I can't even do that.

The downloader I'm using is FB album mod, the best I've been able to find.  But still, it can't grab 'em all.

If any genius has any ideas, I'd be most grateful.  And I'd even offer a kiss, though I don't know how my wife would feel about that.
