  1. I think he already cleared up that he is downloading his own personal images from one photo gallery to another one, like from photodump to flickr or something similar. Regardless of the application, he was just asking about a program that can download every image on the page (which, by the way, would not consume any more bandwidth then someone visiting the page normally). I don't know if that deserves a lecture on stealing bandwidth instead of an answer to the question.
    Yeah, thanks for understanding and thank for the link. I will look it up.I don't know much about it, but I thought that downloading pictures wouldn't make a big issue with the bandwidth of the site. P.S. Ermm... I'm a 'she', not 'he', by the way... :)
  2. Yes, but what you are doing isn't hotlinking. Hotlinking is when you display an image on another site, you are downloading the images. The images each are a certain amount of bytes, for every byte you download a byte of bandwidth is used. Bandwidth costs money. :)
    I didn't say that it's hotlinking. I just said that if a website is bothered with the bandwidth, one of the ways to go about it is to ban the hotlinking. They will spend less.I'm working on my own website right now, and I know there may be the bandwidth issue of some sort. I will ban the hotlinking if it ever becomes a problem. And then, I think that making website and expect that no one will touch your pictures is not appropriate. If you display images, people will save them, save them and post elsewhere, hotlink them, etc... That's one thing every site owner should realize and especially if that's a big site (as I said in the topic's title 'tons of pictures', which implies it's some kind of a big commercial site, not someone's personal page).
  3. I think you may want to go back and re-read this post in its entirety. As far as I can tell, boen_robot has only offered you answers to your questions - including an answer on how to get your images (twice).
    I re-read the message twice and it's clear that boen_robot first assumed that I was going to steal someone else's content:
    If the site is for images, they will get less visitors when users can find the same thing on another site.
    From all the possible options (me just downloading images for my own viewing on my computer/me dowloading images from my own website/me downloading images from my own account at a free image host and finally me downloading images from some else's website) he picked the last one option and based his point solely on it, without leaving a room for any other option.The only thing I have overlooked is that this suggestion had first come from real_illusions, so I should have been saying this to both of them. My bad.Now I think you should go and re-read the discussion in it's entirety.
  4. All I needed when I started this topic was just to download all of my images at one image host service and drop them to another... Yes, my images. You for some reason assumed that I was going to steal something...Talking about the bandwidth, I still don't understand how it might have harmed anyone, 'cause if they don't want to spend it, there are easy ways to stop it by banning hotlinking.

  5. I was talking about .swf files. I can save them, but cannot open them. Is it that I need some kind of a special software like a swf player or something ? But, actually, what I want to do with those files is to convert them to image formats. So, do you or anyone know how to do that ?Thanx.

  6. If the site is for images, they will get less visitors when users can find the same thing on another site.Also, having more downloads means more bandwidth, and more bandwidth ain't free and so they'll eventually have to pay.If making someone pay for something you do is not harming over internet, I don't know what is.
    Hey, no need to be angry with me, I haven't yet done it.I'm not gonna copy someone else's images to display elsewhere. I need to copy some images for myself. I thought, I explained myself well in my previous post.And, the sites I was talking about are those big image sites, not someone's personal page or something.
  7. Thanks for the effort, but I actually figured how to use one of the free image resize programs I had found before... It's called Mihov. That was after I read your post of Mar 14 2007, 10:38 PM. So, there's actually no problem about that anymore.However, I am still very thankful for your generous attempt to help !

  8. Hmm... I don't really know... I do have a web space, though, which I'm planning to use for a website, which the images are for. But, I guess, I could register another space somewhere to install it... You're not planning it for public use, are you ? And, basing on what you said, it seems like it cannot be used as an off-line thing either... Anyways, how much space do I need for that ? And thanks very much for offering your help ! :)

  9. Hi ! Does anyone know of a website where you can resize multiple images at the same time ? I spent some time searching for such place, but couldn't find anything... Unfortunately, I'm way not good at using any programs, so downloads don't do much for me. :)edit: I hope I posted this in the correct section...

  10. Helloooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is there anybody here, who can answer my question ???I have made two drop-down menus on my page, but they don't work. Is the reason that you really can't have more than one ???

  11. Hi ! How can I embed a scroll bar into a dropdown list. It appears automatically in a long list, but doesn't appear in a shorter one. I want it to still appear in it. Can someone give me the code for this ? Will be much appreciated. Thanks.

  12. Over here it says that you can only have one such per page. What if I want two ? I think it's possible since I've seen sites that have more than one. Take style.com for example. If you go to the main page and scroll down to the bottom, they have 3 dropdown menus there.So, does anyone know how do you do it ?
  13. Well, I don't know much about html and here's my q:- what are the fonts that are readable by all systems ? is it the regular (Arial, Vernada) only ? If I use an untypical font, is there a risk my visitor's system will not read it ?- can you show me on the complete list of fonts that are readable by all or absolute majority of systems ? I'd really appreciate it.thing is, I want to spice up my page with unusual fonts, but can't seem to find a place with good choice (I want free fonts only)Thank You !
