[...] Juokas ima iš visokių rinkodaros veiksmų, skirtų izoliuoti vienus vartotojus nuo kitų. Kadangi iPhone savininkai suvokiami, kaip turintys daug pinigų, juos Zinio tarnyba vilioja nemokamais elektroniniais žurnalais, įskaitant PC Magazine, MacWorld ir netgi Playboy bei Penthouse. Tačiau su User Agent Switcher įskiepiu, tuos žurnalus gali nemokamai skaityti visi. (gHacks) [...]

Hey, is that firefox? What theme is that? Thanks for the tip.

That’s my Windows XP theme.

P5chin there is probably a way to automatically save the images once you are on the page but I don’t think it is possible to mass download them unless you use a tool that can spoof the user agent.

Awww
I’m using vista.

Here is how to download a whole magazine to your desktop:

1) Do the trick to get acces to the Zinio Newsstand
2) Select your magazine (I’ll do it with PC Magazine)
3) Click on the cover to see it
4) Right-click on the image and copy the address of it.
5) Open Excel
6) in A1 copy the address of the image http://imgs.zinio.com/iphone/issues/pcmag0805v2/images_pages//pcmag0805v2_1.jpg

7) remove everything after the last underscore so that it looks like this:
http://imgs.zinio.com/iphone/issues/pcmag0805v2/images_pages//pcmag0805v2_

in A2—> A201 put numbers from 1 to 200

9) in B2 type =CONCATENATE($A$1;A2;”.jpg”)

10) Pull B2 all the way to B201

11) Copy the B column and download the links using your favorite download manager. (Flashget does the job for me)

Just use the Firefox extension DownloadThemAll with Batch Downloads, set the start and end pages and download.
