(I only posted this comment again because unfortunately the direct link to my method has changed, I hope you, Mr Wenzel, do not mind too much, thanks for your understanding.)

COMMENT WITH UPDATED LINK:

I have published a slightly different method that allows for the true full size photos over a resolution of 1200×1600 pixels to be downloaded.

My method also removes the disabled download permissions from any album or photo.

It does not include installing other software or running a script. You can read about this method here:

Fredericiana I am also linking to your blog post to let people know about your method.

I hope this helps everyone to download all the albums and photos on Picasaweb without any restrictions regardless of download permissions or maximum image resolution.

Hey man. Just wanted to thank you for the tip. I never knew about the DownThemAll add-on, nor the RSS feed for Picasa albums. That worked very well. Great work!

This seems great.but the issue for me is,latest versions of firefox doesn’t support download them all add-on.well there is another easy way to get files.you guys may already know this.if you guys use IDM [Internet Download Manager],there is a feature in internet explorer or firefox [*opera doesn't support this kind of integration],go to the picasa album then right click anywhere and hit “download all links with idm”.then it show a lot of files,but it’s too easy to find the photos if you sort them well.best thing is,it gives the photos with exact sizes.you can select the photos only or whatever you need to download and put them in the download queue.if you have downloads already in queue,you will have to select the all the pics and hit download.it seems easy to me but i don’t know how you guys would.i haven’t had issues with this yet.so try this.

I wrote a Ruby script for downloading all the photos in Picasa Web albums, grouped by album. This gets the original photos, not 1600×1200 thumbnails.

You can read about how to use it here: http://blog.costan.us/2010/01/automated-backup-for-picasa-web-albums.html
