No problem, it took about half an hour IIRC to compile them all. A mix of everything really. Girls, space, sayings, gaming stuff. I created one myself, "Wallpapers to Live By". It's simple, but I needed something like it one day.

Hope everyone finds a few in there that they like.

OBCT just let me know that I had a rar within a rar. I'm rectifying that now, so the new file comes in at around 410MB, roughly half the size it was. *facepalm* Sorry guys. I'll post the link here when it's done.

Updated wallpaper size

Yeah I've got over 200MB that I use too, having them cycle is fun.

Yes, I also noticed that. My security suite (MSET?) blocked it so I didn't have to do anything.

Is it common to find viruses embedding in picture files?

I just use imgur.com and when you upload you can choose a thumbnail size and it'll give you the proper URL code for the forum.

OBCT and photon, thanks for the notification. I've scanned with AVG and nothing came up on the 'infected' list.

I know it's weird to revive old threads, but I feel like this link belongs here.

http://www.codeteq.com/?page_id=444

Wallbase Batch Download (WBD) is a remarkably useful program for wallpaper enthusiasts such as I. It somehow manages to augment the greatness of http://wallbase.cc/ in ways I didn't think possible.

The developer continues to implement features in his spare time, too! [http://wallbase.cc/forum/topic/1793/225]

I don't know if downloading software that is connected with a website that scrapes 4chan for images is something I would willing do.

I do like Wallbase though, and almost all of my wallpaper comes from there.

For work I often use the Panaramic from the wikipedia page on Calgary.

That bottom one has been one of my favourites for years.

I like wallpaper like that because I find if it is too busy then I can lose the icons on it. They can almost blend in if there is too much going on. But I still like to have something pleasing to the eye.

I'm using this one right now:
