Looks like it's not possible right now. They have a protection from batch downloading... The direct links to images simply won't work...

I do not like facebook but you can download entire photo albums.
I checked other tool Downloading entire albums with no problem :)

Hmmm. You made me wonder and I tried again. This time I was able to download first 30 photos from any album, but that's it. The settings were:

Site Exploration -> Regular site: Follow all links, limit exploration depth to [2]

But the rest of the photos in the album are delivered through JavaScript... When you scroll to the bottom of the page... The software must be "especially trained" (so to say) to with FB, just like EPF works with search engines, I guess.

Maybe there is a way to make FB show all photos of the album on one page at once? If so, then EPF could do it.

OK, I got it, after all. Here are the settings:

Starting address: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 742&type=3

Target files: *.jp*

Site Exploration -> Regular site: Follow all links (do not limit the exploration depth)

Site exploration -> Custom parsers: clear all parsers

Filters -> Excluded URLs:
.*

Filters -> Included URLs:
/ZamyZamyZamyZamy/photos/
(?si)_n\.jpg\?

Limits -> File size: minimum 50 KB

If you'll have problems applying the settings - let me know and I'll create a ready-to-use EPF project for you.

It works? woo hoo! Thank you very much!

Since last year until now I have a total of 50GB of photos on my computer.

I think it is a good collection :D
