R help - Jul 2013 - What package to use to download pictures and its description from server?

Hi R community,
What package would you recommend to download pictures and descriptions
of the pictures?

I have looked at package XML and RCurl so far.  Is this what everyone uses?

Thanks,
Mike

Wouldn't this be highly dependent on how the pictures and descriptions were
formatted online, as well as what you planned to do with them? I generally find
that a web browser is quite sufficient for my needs.
