That was the first thing to pop into my mind. The second thing was dread. I have 7700+ photos on Flickr, and they're all 3648x2736 and 4272x2848. I can't imagine transferring to something else not being a giant hassle. Anybody know a good replacement service with import from Flickr?

You can export them with this Python script http://hivelogic.com/articles/backing-up-flickr/ http://hivelogic.com/articles/backing-up-flickr/ or with Bulkr (paid version)

  just tried that script and all the images it downloaded couldnt be viewed. Anyone else tried it? or have an alternative?

    I ended up modifying the script where it saves the image, added an issue to the git hub page.

  I paid the $30 for Bulkr Pro, and am currently grabbing all my photos for migration to OpenPhoto (with my own s3 account).

      There's only the header of a README there. Where's the utility?

        I was serious when I said I just created it. We're working on a set of export utilities and Flickr is the first. Expect something to be functional in 2 or so weeks.

    I bought Bulkr Pro but it didn't seem to download my videos.

  I'm not into all that panic about leaving Flickr, but for some other reason I've recently made http://zalew.net/2012/01/11/django-flickr/ http://zalew.net/2012/01/11/django-flickr/ to sync Flickr into a Django app. It doesn't download the actual files yet so I was going to somehow implement parts of the Python script you mention to let it work as a backup tool too (unless somebody forks me and does it earlier <wink wink>).
