The question is regarding to the downloading. Having received almost 200 pictures attached in a hotmail email, is it possible to batch download all the attachments instead of one by one? Thank you.

Hotmail should offer (as a link somewhere around the file attachments) an option for "download all". It will let you download a ".zip" file. After you download that, you can doubleclick on the .zip file and it will open a folder containing all of the pictures.
Gmail def. does this. And I'm pretty sure hotmail does also.

Hi! I double checked the received email. Actually, all the pictures are in the hosting site. I guess all picture was uploaded one by one. So each picture has one link to download. My project is how to batch download and save those pictures from a hosting site instead of click each downloading link. Is it possible? Thank you.

Unfortunately, if the hosting site isn't giving you an option to "dowload all" or "save all as .ZIP", you are out of luck. My company uses a hosting site for client uploads, I have to select ALL files separately unless the client uploads a .ZIP.

Thank you for your answer. By the way, do you or anyone know a free hosting site featuring batch downloading, as Sharper11 said download all?

Some open-source photo gallery software allows for the download of full galleries as zip files if configured to do so I believe Coppermine dose this gallery can be added to many hosting accounts I do not know of free hosting that runs this software but I have not dealt with free hosting in a long time.
