Can someone tell me the command for wget to scrape all the images on photobucket? For example I want to grab all the pics on this tag http://photobucket.com/images/banana/ I don't want it to scrape the thumbnails but I want the full sized pictures.

Well you need a script to do

1 - Get the urls from all pages of selected keyword
2 - Visit the url with cURL and grab the URL of the picture
3 - Got with Curl on the url of the picture
4 - Get the content and save it to file

If you can code, MoneyMafia has mentioned the specs of the script you need to write.

If you can't code, you can get this done cheaply at rentacoder or other sites. You should also check out the freelance jobs section of this forum ..

indieinc, that would work if Ruriko wanted all image files. Turns out he wants to exclude the thumbnails .. that would require some form of custom coding ..
