Disclaimer : I don't support f**ing stealing, this was NOT made to steal skins. How YOU use it is up to YOU, don't come crying to me if some one has your skin, it might not even be my fault. Hello, this is a simple little tool that lets you download another players skin! (Or your own skin if you misplaced your original file.)
All you have to do is enter the players in game name, and press Download, it will download their skin and save it in the folder that Skin Downloader.exe is in as the players IGN.
For those who get confused where this saves : It saves to the folder the program is in as the characters IGN.
Example - You open it up in C:\ and the IGN is Notch, it will save as C:\Notch.png
If you save the inverted, it will be C:\Notch INVERT.png
And of course the DOWNLOADS!
I will upload to anywhere else upon request.*
*(As long as I don't have to pay for it.) RAR v0.5 - Drop Box EXE v0.5 - Drop Box
Not sure if this is the one they wanted to be on here, but it's the current one!

Have any ideas for something to add? If it's good, I will try to add it!
Answering a few questions I have gotten and thought of while typing this out :
Q : Why does it lag out when I type in a letter for the first time every time I open it?
A : It has to load the page, but when it's done that switching is fine.
Q : Are you going to make it stop freezing when I type the first letter?
A : No, that's .net's problem, not mine. If I could fix it, I would.
Q : Where does the skin get saved to?
A :
For those who get confused where this saves : It saves to the folder the program is in as the characters IGN.
Example - You open it up in C:\ and the IGN is Notch, it will save as C:\Notch.png
If you save the inverted, it will be C:\Notch INVERT.png
Q : Can you upload it to some where else? MediaFire or Drop Box doesn't work/I don't like it.
A : Sure, post the site link or name in this thread!
Q : I get "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."
A : That just means the person's skin you tried to download is still using default skin OR Try putting capitals in the right places OR You spelled their name wrong OR The site is down or something.
NOTE : SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ANY MORE!
Q : (By : TheMrMittens) : Could you make it for mac?
A : I probably could. Though, I am never going to. I don't use Mac/Apple hardware/software for anything I do, and I never plan to. Sorry Mac users!
HUGE THANKS TO RUAN942 FOR POSTING A MAC/LINUX VERSION.

Simple Bash script to download a skin. Save as dlskin.sh; chmod +x dlskin.sh; ./dlskin.sh <name>
Tested & working on Arch Linux.
I noticed that attempting to download more than one skin at a time quickly is quite a pain, I am going to make a new version that selects all the text when you click the text box.
If you get : "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."
Just click Continue, that means you spelled the person's name wrong, or they haven't ever changed their skin.
I'm stumped on what to add for v0.5!
I had the skin preview as an idea since pre-release, but forgot about it until Tha_14 (MPGH) suggested to add that and a message box to indicate the download worked.
Please help out! Any ideas are appreciated, I will add ones that I like. I forgot to add the message box in v0.4, I will add it along with the next good idea(s).
Message box idea turned out to be REALLY annoying! Never added.
Any ways... 0.5 is almost done... I am tired, it is 3AM here... I can't sleep though, travelling tomorrow. I'm not going to work on 0.5 while being this tired, I know I will mess up really bad and end up having to start over when I am not so tired.
0.5 postponed until July 18-... wait ... crap! I am going to be out of town! Well, me and Zero1UP are cool now... I have no idea when I will be back, I might try to transfer my files to my laptop, but I won't get much time to work on it.

A : I probably could. Though, I am never going to. I don't use Mac/Apple hardware/software for anything I do, and I never plan to. Sorry Mac users!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I know that, but personally I am too lazy to do that every time.
BTW, I wouldn't have been able to do this if you couldn't do it with out a program.
I noticed that attempting to download more than one skin at a time quickly is quite a pain, I am going to make a new version that selects all the text when you click the text box.v0.2 has been released.
I upgraded the UI to look better, but I am too lazy ATM to virus scan it and upload it. I will do that some time later or tomorrow.v0.3 has been released.
If you get : "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."
Just click Continue, that means you spelled the person's name wrong, or they haven't ever changed their skin.
Error
won'tshouldn't happen in the new version.I got a suggestion to put a preview of the skin, I will do that when I get back later.Added in, though it's blury... No idea how to fix that, what ever.
Okay, I am starting v0.4 now.I know the skin is a tad blurry, but that's what happens when you stretch 64x32 sized images...

No, that has nothing to do with this.
@Above
Not it either, lol.
It's funny how you guys are like SET on ruining what ever I am trying, yet you are failing so badly. I tried going to your "http://www.minecraft.net/user/" + -namehere- + ".png" and nothing happened. - http://www.minecraft.net/user/XinwxHleak.png try it.
Any ways... 0.5 is almost done... I am tired, it is 3AM here... I can't sleep though, travelling tomorrow. I'm not going to work on 0.5 while being this tired, I know I will mess up really bad and end up having to start over when I am not so tired.

It should be this:
In the same folder that the .exe is in, you need to un-rar it.
@somken
Good idea.
@eagle198
Oh... Meh, using a program is easier, IMO.
BTW, I got back early so I will be remembering where I left off on v0.5 soon...
Thanks.
I am now "The Notch"
