Downloading photos from this website will require program modification. I'll let you know when it's done.

Nothing has changed for a long time. I was looking for an alternative program downloads pictures but there is nothing on the internet.



Why is this not working?

Well, the latest version (it's very important - ONLY the latest version 3.15.0.1 and higher) is able to download all "preloaded" pictures from your addresses with the following settings:

Exploration: Regular site, Follow all links
Excluded URLs: .*
Included URLs:

photo\d+
userapi\.com.+?/[xyzw]_.+?\.jpg$

I tried those settings with the following addresses:

http://vk.com/photos33847979
http://vk.com/photos18449931
http://vk.com/album34106403_0

So, if the album doesn't have a lot of images - EPF will download them all. If there are a lot of images and they are shown in the browser only when you scroll the page down - those extra images will not be downloaded because links to them are generated by JavaScript on request and are initially absent in the page source.
