the python script that is used to download the images and save it to a folder "scripts/downloads" is given below

import urllib,os

import os

#the name of the file where you have the url in the above defined format

f = open('./scripts/url.txt','r')

lines = f.read()

#changing the directory so that you downloaded files can be saved here

os.chdir('./scripts/download/')

#loop thru

for line in lines.split('\n'):

    if not line == "":

    #the url link from where you have to download

        url = 'http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/art.gnome.org/backgrounds/'+line.split(' ')[1]

        message = urllib.urlretrieve(url,line.split(' ')[1])

        print "Downloaded :",message

print "downloaded..."

# iam sorry for the poor formatting(which is non-python)...the editor actually removes all the indentation part of the text
