First I'm going on the assumption that these pictures are only posted to p-bucket and not saved anywhere else and that this is an acct. of yours and you are simply wanting to save the pictures to your hard drive/ computer for safe keeping to be possibly down loaded into another 3rd party photo sharing site....
What worked for me when I purged my old p-bucket acct. was to open the picture up and Right click, save.....saved to pictures.
I believe in redundancy where pictures are concerned....first layer would be my Fotki acct.,second layer would be what is saved in pictures on my PC and the 3rd layer would be what is backed up on disk.
Keep in mind it took me a ton patience and quite a bit of time dealing with all of the filth and crap on p-bucket...pop up adds,taking an unreasonably long time to save a picture back to the hard drive, having p-bucket log out or time out on a picture save, difficulty accessing the pictures in my old acct. etc. etc
