image downloader

Dear Members and software experts:

Hi! How are you? Me fair I guess.
I am posting this message, because I am beginning to lose patience concerning image downloaders, comapnies making them are using us the end user just like
guinea pigs. They want us to pay 30 to 50 bucks for a 1.2 to 1.8MB software, this is insane, those who offer us free software just like Mihov image downloader, they want us to know the URL before using their software, this is insane again, if we want to use a search software that means that we do not know any URL for those pictures or anything else, like CDs and software and health care purpose.
THeere is another type of image downloader, from Newsgroups, well using those newsgroups it comes very expensive especially those who live outside the USA, in my country there is none of those service, with the exchage it is steep. SO WHY NOT ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO ARE PROGRAMMERS OR SOFTWARE DEVELLOPERS, CREATE A FEEE IMAGE DOWNLOADER, IF THERE IS SOME ADS FROM DONATION COMPANIES ON IT, GO AHAED I DO NOT CARE, BUT A FREE ONE NOT WITH url SEARCH CAPABILITY BUT WITH kEY WORDS, JUST LIKE mUSIC fiNDER(MOST OF THEM. i HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR WEEKS FOR ONE FREE AND VERY USEFULL, BUT IT IS ALL USELESS OR TO EXPENSIVE, IN MY CONTRY A 50 BUCKS SOFTWARE AMOUNTS AT 85 DOLLARS, FOR ME IT IS JUST LIKE A SMALL MORTGAGE. SO I HOPE THAT SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS COMING HERE CAN READ THIS. WHERE IS ALL THE GOOD FREEWARE, ALLL THE FREEWARE NOW EXCEPT A FEW ARE ALL USELESS ONES OR A PIECE OF JUNK.
FREEWARE JUNKIES WAKE UP. AND ALL OTHERS TOO.
Is there any software like that that I over looked. I am using the Mozilla 1.5 browser, the best there is.
Thank you for your attention and collaboration and hearing my cries.
I am creating a website right now, concerning the web right now compare to what it has been in the past, it is a far cry believe me, I will not hide my feelings towrds the net and the people controlling it. Or lack of control and caring and to help each other. Instead of helping only those who have the money.
Take care and stay safe all of you out
there . I reaally care. Indeed.
God be with you all and to help us all to be enlighten and to be human.

Offline Explorer and WebZip used to be shareware and allowed you to use them non comercially with adverts in them not sure if this is the case now.

WebZip http://www.spidersoft.com/webzip/

The reason why programmers like myself dont make freeware programs all the time is firstly we would have no job, and secondly no spare time, although I do agree most software is priced too highly I think this is more the issue??

If I find a freeware image downloader I will post
