Any Suggestions?

Maybe this info will help you:
www.ipernity.com/help/faq/album (scroll down to "Downloading an entire album")

Also it seems to late now, it is a very bad idea to have your only backup online, especially on a service that you can't control. Better is to pay a little money for some clean webspace and host from there. A way in between is to use a hoster like SmugMug for pictures, but again, always with local backup of your files!

I installed the downloader they suggest and it works for single photos but if i try a whole album it just gives me a texct file of links :(

Do the links follow directly to the photos? Then one could download this list by another program.

I switched to Firefox and it worked.... for a while..... if the album contains more than 61 photos then it only downloads 61 and then error message for all the other photos in the album.... cannot find any explanation of the error message anywhere...... ive now spent 6 hours and it really is a pain in the ass........ thanx for your help anyway

All sounds a bit strange. Unfortunately I am not a club member and can't try it myself. Maybe the support can help... Good luck!

As the author of ipxuploader I had the plans to enhance it as downlowdr. Unfortunately I am very busy with coding in a really interesting project for money. If I find free time in winter vacation, let´s see if I could write a quick hack. I analyzed existing downloaders in the past, and they were all buggy in long term downloads and network stability issues. For 100k pics this will be a issue. Then, I am not sure, what people need? Downloading the originals? All ready-to-user rendered sizes? The comments? In folders by album names, in folders by upload date? One flat folder, filenames like the original iper-url?

I am getting through the download using their reccomended downloader and it works except the file names are lost and of course tags. the problem I am having is with older files..... the downloader comes up with errors for old albums...... the same photos that I link to my blog no longer appear in my blog..... i contacted ipernity about this 2 years ago but it has not been resolved

update..... the downloaders are simply not working...... they download 61 files then fail 61 files then download the next 61 files and so on
All i need is to download my content....... I sure hope they can come up with a solution as I need to get on with my life

seemd to have solved it..... I cranked down the number of concurrent downloads to 2 and now there are no errors. Its slow, but I can live with that

Perfect! So I a not forced to deliver an alternate solution ;-)

:)..... thanx. BTW would you happen to know a good uploader for flickr?

I found one some years ago, but it was with costs. For nearly a decade i was´n interested in flickr, so I did not have a close look what is possible. As far I remember there was a GPL implementation of the api, and the former flickr uploader was based on it, like the latter native ipernity uploader (and both had the same bugs). As the ipernity api is a subset of the flickr api, i will provide a ipxUploader for flickr too, when I found the time to rewrite this. Flickr has a own, www.flickr.com/tools maybe this one is sufficient for you?
