.zip is a file format for compressing files for easy storage and downloading. All photosets on our sites have the images saved in a zip format for your downloading convenience. Because our photosets are so large and the resolution of the images is high, the zip files makes downloading entire photosets much faster. At the bottom of each page in a photoset is a link to download a zip file. This zip file contains all images on that page only. If you want an entire photoset, you need to download the zip file from each page of the photoset.
Zips are easy to use once you try them. If you have not used them before, now is your chance to learn about really cool software and increase your knowledge of the internet. Follow the simple instructions below for easy downloading of mutliple images.
