Ok, I did this before, I have used wget and curl but does not work.
The reason is, some sites have automated or recursive download
retrieval protection, meaning, soon as you download it, there is an ad
and the image is not there. http://www.fortunecity.com loves doing
this :( If you download it with a browser it works.
Typically, this trick is accomplished by checking the HTTP referrer,
user agent, a cookie, by making the image the result of a POSTing, or
more rarely by checking historical traffic from your IP. You can script
UAS or argument curl to account for these tactics. I've had success
doing this with sites that shall remain nameless.
