I'd either recommend:
HTTrack. http://www.httrack.com/
- freeware
- Available for Both linux and windows
- uses GUI


Wget
- Linux [well, also for windows, but I couldn't get the windows binary to work]
- GNU [obviously] and free
- EXTREMELY configurable, but it has a steeper learning curve than httrack.
- want to get used to the command line if you use this.


good luck,
keyshawn

I agree that wget is a bit on the steep side of the learning curve, but you can't beat the convenience factor of either the wget --mirror switch, or the sheer usefulness of a one-liner like:

$ for num in `seq -w 1 20`; do wget http://some.site.with.pics/pics/pic_$num.jpg; done;

I also use the wget command in a shell script that I wrote that uses the url for the pictures and you then tell it the range of numbers to use.

Is the command above a better way of doing this?

It's a matter of personal preference, I mean a shell/perl script could potentially have a lot more functionality, but for my purposes one-liners work fine and don't take long to type in. Plus, if you want to share a good find on the net with other linux users, just post the one-liner and you're done; no need to send them your script.
