What's the best way to move all my photos from a Flickr pro acct to Zooomr?

@Romek: I've been using Picnik for a while and I love it, but it would take three consecutive lifespans to open each Flickr photo in it and save it onto another service through Picnik... I was going to download all my photos with flickr backup, when I realized I probably have waayyy to many of them to do it just like that. It's gonna take a long, long time, and maybe an external HD.
Major Bummer: Picasa only offers 1GB of free storage, and I have more than 20GB worth of Flickr photos. It would cost be $75 just to be able to store my existing photos!
Picasa...Absolutely...But it should be fairly simple to write an app that would do what iPhoto does, only based on Flickr or another remote service - that would own BOTH iPhoto AND Picasa ;-)
Flickr: A community and a filemanager BETTER that ANY OS - which actually is a disgrace. If iPhoto was simpler and faster it would OWN anything - it isn't - time to build a Picasa and iPhoto killer - should be eazy...
the answer is strange...it's to write it in .NET and use Mono for cross platform (but I'm already in solution mode), participate in the development of this new piece of software here: http://www.kimbach.org/wiki/index.php?title=Photo_manager

@krazykritter: I haven't looked into using Picasa yet, but maybe I should. @yoggel: why do things the simple way, right? ;-)

Picasa = Google Web Albums. The Picasa program is the easiest way to upload them there. Personally, I store a backup of all my pics in SVN.

I'm on a Mac, so no Picasa program for me, right? Maybe there's an iPhoto exporter though.

Have you tried CrossOver?

(and the answer is to make use og the Flickr API, should be fairly straight forward to write such an app - hmm what am I waiting for? ;-))

Picassa doesn't own iPhoto at all. Well, guess that's different discussion. I would also like to know what's so good about Flickr...
