There's a tool called Migratr, which makes it easy to transfer your pictures from Flickr to Picasa or vice versa.

Update
Given your new specific question, there is no possibility from Flickr itself. I don't know the reason, but unless somebody finds a backdoor for that, you won't be able to do that.
You could of course (as a workaround) program an application that uses the Flickr API to fetch an image from an URL and upload it to Flickr. Wouldn't be that hard to do.

of course there is a faster way:
Go to the Organize & Create menu at the top
Select the pictures you want
Drag them to the middle of the screen to create a batch
You can then do a lot of things to this batch, adding tags for example with the Add tags button.

If going deeper and wider is better, then that's why it's better. That's really all there is to it.
A collection can contain sets and other collections, going down as five (5) deep. That is you can have the following nests/groups:
Animals collection
Four-legged set
Domestic pets set
Winged creatures collection

Yes you can do that using the 'Guest Pass' feature :
Open your set, click 'Share This' and generate a Guest Pass (a unique URL that you can send by mail ...)
Here is the Flickr Faq about that (http://www.flickr.com/help/with/privacy/):
*You can share public photos in your photostream by copying the URL in your browser's address bar and pasting it an ...

Change the title on all photos to Blank or something meaningful.

You can achieve it via Yahoo Pipes.
Make two Fetch Data Modules. One with friend=0 and one with friend=1 Let 'channel.item' be your path
Create a Union between these two.
Apply the Unique module and filter
by item.title
Slap in a Filter that filters for
repeats using item.y:repeatcount then hook it to the Pipe Output

The advanced search does seem to lose the camera finder filter. If you copy the URL argument for the camera type;
&cm=apple%2Fiphone_3gs
and paste it in at the end of your CC licensed software search

You can get the results ...

The highest resolution versions will be sent to print.
Flickr will offer recommendations on the best size prints available based on the photo's size and resolution;
see What does "Not recommended for printing" mean?
You can over-ride this (not recommended) using the 'More options' link in the order pop-up;

If you have an associated @yahoo.com or @yahoo.co.uk email address and can remember what it is you can go through the password reset process for the mail account, then once signed in on that email account you might get access to the Flickr account.
There's a reset wizard at https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot
Select "forgot password".
Enter ID and capcha.

Make sure you do it before your account expires, otherwise you'll only have access to the last 200
Bulkr is an Air app I saw on lifehacker but haven't used yet

You should take a look at Migratr
Migratr is a desktop application which
moves photos between popular photo
sharing services. Migratr will also
migrate your metadata, including the
titles, tags, descriptions and album
organization.
I am not sure if it will transfer video or not but it is definitely worth a try.

From the Official Flickr documentation:
Photo Source URLs
You can construct the source URL to a photo once you know its ID, server ID, farm ID and secret, as returned by many API methods.
The URL takes the following format:
http://farm{farm-id}.static.flickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{secret}.jpg
or

It looks like you are entering the coordinates in the wrong format.
These are valid formats for coordinates:
37.794721, -122.401388
37°47'41"N, 122°24'05"W
37°47'41", -122°24'05"
37°47.6833', -122°24.0833'
geo:lat=37.794721 geo:lon=-122.401388
Or you can search for addresses or landmarks, the more specific the
better. These are ...

It seems Flickr does not have email support for Tumblr, yet as described by a staff member 7 months ago:
Although, we currently do not support posting to Tumblr blogs via upload by e-mail, you can submit your idea for improvement or feature request to Flickr ideas:

I have browsed the topic and have not seen the ...

One of the most important ways to organize photos within a group is using Flickr tags. They can help you in several ways:
As an administrator, you may request that all photos which are added to the group pool have a specific tag. See, for example, the group rules of Our Daily Challenge: http://www.flickr.com/groups/ourdailychallenge/rules/. The group tag ...

You can't.
When you select an image for your buddy icon, Flickr will create a copy of it and allow you to play around with that.
Not all buddy or profile icons have a corresponding photo page under the account as it may not even be from that Flickr user's album.
But, you can at least find out who owns the profile when you hit them up.
Their profile ...

I think you can create a Flickr with a google account.
That's what I did and I don't remember having to fill these informations. (apparently not)
EDIT:
After reading the terms of service
You can use Flickr for non profit, but it seems to be tolerated more than encouraged.
In any case you must be register as an individual.
Maybe using the company ...

You can also use Flick and Share: http://www.flickandshare.com
It's a free web service that allows Flickr users to generate a short-link to automatically download all the set's pictures in high-resolution.
Generated links are private so you can use it for your backup but can also be shared with friends if you need to let someone download pictures of an event ...

I haven't experienced it myself but the webapp Showzey seems to do that (for free).
The full procedure is explained here : How to Move Photos From Flickr to Picasa Web.
If for some reason it doesn't work for you, and you fallback to a manual approch, then desktop app Photo Grabbr (donationware) is of some help to download full sets of photos from Flickr.

It seems strange that there is nothing available that will easily do this for Mac users.
I did find this blog post which seems fairly easy. It does depend on you having Python installed though.
Extracted from blog post
The key component to the migration was a python script I found
developed by Nathan Van Gheem last year, which used both services
