lost my originals how do I get my pictures back from flickr?

I was personally able to recover all my photos using the instructions and link below. I know many people lost cherished photos; hopefully this will provide the means to get them back.

☆☆☆ Can You Retrieve Your Deleted Photos? Possibly! ☆☆☆

The Wayback Machine is a free, online service that allows people to access archived versions of websites. A group of volunteers heard about the Webshots shutdown and attempted to archive Webshots collections prior to the photo deletions. They also added the ability to search the archived images using your Webshots username. So you will need to know at least the first few characters of your Webshots username in order to search the archives.

I just tried their search function using my Webshots username and was able to download a zip file containing all my Webshots photos. The zip file itself contains many folders; my images were in folders named 'image##' (## signifies a number.) From there, you will have to drill down until you get to the actual .jpg files. The photos are not organized; there are no captions or descriptions; and if you have thousands of photos it will take time to go through them all -

If you only have a few, go to each picture, right click on the picture and choose Save As.
