It seems that in times of rate-limiting, Flickr doesn't let your userscript download images. Instead, it serves a 93-byte ".jpg" file that contains the following text:

<html><body><h1>403 Forbidden</h1>
Request forbidden by administrative rules.
</body></html>

Sample file is attached.

Suggested fix: make it check whether the file is <200bytes and if so, it waits, then tries to download it again?

The rate-limiting differs from day to day. When I first noticed this happening, about 90% of images saved as the 93-byte file. But today, it was more like 10%.
