Default A fotopic question

A question to trouble those huge brains out there!

Is there any way of downloading pics off fotopic more than 1 at a time?

Thanks,

Downloading? Subscribe to "Premium" and you can download a whole gallery at once....


....(as I found when I had to re-format my PC, lost all of my pictures and was told i'd have to pay to get them back off of my fotopic)...

Fotopic is brill, excellent support, the search feature is handy and a number of professionals use it.
