I wrote a perl script to download entire series of images off of webrats (images under http://uploads.webrats.com/webrats/). If anyone else would be interested in this little novelty, I'll be happy to share. It's not really large enough to worry about licensing (currently 89 lines long), but it's a nifty little tool that some of you might be interested in. Having the ability to use a slideshow app to view large series (i.e. >50 images) greatly reduces memory consumption compared to using a web browser for the same task. It does use `wget' at the moment (this can be changed if desired), and is a multi-threaded application - such that you can maximize bandwidth utilization .

Note: this is more or less intended for fellow hackers - best run on a Gentoo Linux box .
