Existing users, 
Caveat: I've only tried this 6 or 7 times, but each time I've hit barriers that, frankly, increase my Flickr workflow efforts rather than streamlining them.
I'm on a 2GHz iMac G5 with 1.5GB RAM and only Safari running. 1001 is very sluggish. However, my main concern is it's sporadic behavior on upload. Sometimes it completes. Sometimes it stalls. Today it stalled on the first file upload and just sat there apparently on the same file for about 20 minutes before I killed it.
I have to say that out of the 3 or 4 apps I've tried, JUploadr may not be the most flashy or feature-rich, but it is stable and consistent.
If 1001 were to stabilize, I would certainly consider using it as my main app for this kind of thing. I do like the ability to select sets, maintain a list of tags AND read psd files and convert them to JPG on the fly (although I haven't tried that yet - that's what I was attempting today when things stalled).

Ah, welshbaloney needs 4 GB RAM in a 2 gHz iMac G5? Just where is he/she going to put it? The iMac G5 can take up to 2 GB RAM, unless it's the iSight model (only sold for about 5 months before the first Intel iMacs came out)--then, it can hold 2.5 GB because it has 512 MB on the logicboard.As for "at least 4GB," even the lastest iMac, MacBook and MacBook Pro can hold only 4GB. The Mac Mini maxes out at 2 GB. Only the Mac Pro can hold more.
It's a good idea to check your facts before pontificating about things you apparently know diddly-squat about. A simple check of Apple's website or the Mactracker application would have let you avoid your error.
It would be FAR better for the developer to spend some time cleaning up the application so that it works more consistently and faster. NO application should require 4 GB. Photoshop runs OK in much less.
Oh, and if 1.5 GB is the minimum for the OS to work, why does Apple sell iMacs, Mac Minis & Mac Books with 1 GB RAM? I guess that Leopard just won't work in the majority of Macs sold today.

You only have 1.5 GB of RAM?The OS needs more than that just to run.
I would install more RAM in your Mac to make it run better.
At least 4 GB would be OK.
Then you will get all programs working better.
Max-Out your RAM if you can, your Mac will FLY.
