Facebook Download all Photos to Local Files
See more Facebook Examples
Demonstrates how to download all of one's Facebook photos to a local filesystem directory. This sample code keeps a local cache to avoid re-downloading the same photos twice. The program can be run again after a time, and it will download only photos that haven't yet been downloaded.Chilkat Java Downloads
