Bulkr: Over 2 million photos downloaded in 2 weeks!

Up until last month, an average of 1 million photos were being downloaded with Bulkr every month, since December last year. I just checked the stats and turns out that 2+ million photos have been downloaded in the last two weeks (142,000 photos per day!). Exciting times indeed.

That makes a total of 7+ million total photo download since Bulkr came into existence 5 months ago. In case you didn’t know already, there is a counter on Bulkr’s homepage which shows the total number of photos downloaded.

Last month a new version of Bulkr was released. A new feature was added which allowed users to browse/download upto 500 photos in one batch. It’s probably because of this new feature, photo downloads have skyrocketed lately.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who have used Bulkr. The feedback has been amazing and I’m now working even more actively to add new features. Some major changes are coming to Bulkr soon. Stay tuned! 🙂

P.S: If you would like to support Bulkr, do tell your friends. If you’d like to tweet about it, please click here. Or you can also fave it in the Flickr App Garden. Thanks!

alright. from my experience of using bulkr…

it won’t resume downloads automatically after flickr api gives it a fit. so i cannot leave it unattended.

it won’t resume downloads after a restart of the application (a crash or a need to restart the OS).

it sometimes skip download of an image when i resume after it stops due to flickr having issues.

if the app can be updated to check for an existing image in the downloaded folder (using CRC i guess)… it would make it awesome.

  @S: Thanks for your comment. These are valid points. These features are currently not supported by Bulkr. But I will make a note of them so that they can be incorporated in the future. Auto-resume has not been an issue so far, but since now Bulkr download numbers are high, it makes sense to have a feature like this.

I just successfully downloaded 10,000 of my own full-size original fotos, which is awesome. Only thing is (and this will sound silly), I can’t find out where bulkr downloaded them to? Have been scanning all my folders, no luck. (Download took about 2 days, btw)
