I think it's supposed to be a hip, command-liner
way of saying "scrape" the whole thing with an
auto-downloader. (Real men don't use GUIs.

I know you said that you just want these images
for your own use, but these files still may be illegal to
download. I found a "10000 photos" collection that
seems to be a match for a cheap CD collection I
bought many years ago. Besides the fact that the
photos were of terrible quality, there was a ridiculous
license that said I couldn't use the images commercially
and could only print them onto 25 cards at most. I
don't remember all the details now, but the license was
so petty that I don't doubt it also said something to
the effect that one has no right to use the images if
one didn't buy the CD directly.

I used to collect a lot of graphics and sounds from
British magaizine CDs, too. Unfortuantely, nearly all
of it was just cheap junk.
