gnomelook.org, kdelook.org, art.gnome.org and similar sites --- not the largest sites in some ways, but they at least show you the license, so you know what you can do with it

Mostly from screenshot threads, like in the Arch forums, Reddit and a swedish computer site named sweclockers.com. I rarely go to wallpaper sites like interfacelift.com (though that one is really good), simply becouse I'm lazy.

boy, it's good to know that I'm not the only wallpaperpheliac out there

+1 for InterfaceLIFT. I especially like how they offer wallpaper specific to your resolution.

vladstudio.com

Bennythen00b · 2010-09-15 13:48:17

nik.bot.nu

It's practically exactly the same thing 4scrape was.

I tend to use my own pictures, but I also use APOD ( http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html ) or Hubble ( http://hubblesite.org/gallery/wallpaper/ ).

A little script for downloading all of vladstudio's wallpapers -- adjust the 'num' variable if there's more now...I haven't checked it in several months now, so no guarantees And please don't laugh at my code!

#!/usr/bin/env python
import re,urllib
from os.path import join,expanduser

url = "http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpapers/?start={0}&show=24"
pic_url = "http://rack1.vladstudio.com/jpg_low/2560x1600/vladstudio_{0}_2560x1600.jpg"
step = 25
num = 657
dl_dir = expanduser("~/pictures/wallpapers/vladstudio/")
for i in range(0,num,step):
    vlad=urllib.urlopen(url.format(i)).readlines()   # Open each page of the wallpapers
    pix=re.findall('href="\.\./wallpaper/\?([^"]*)"',vlad[0])  # Make a list of the names of each wallpaper
    pix=list(set(pix))    # There are two matches for each item name
    for j in pix:
        fn = join(dl_dir,j + ".jpg")
    print "Downloading {0} from {1}".format(fn,pic_url.format(j))
    urllib.urlretrieve(pic_url.format(j),fn)

I also sometimes use stuff I make in Blender, or pictures I took back when I had a dSLR.

I like simple desktops, have to bookmark that one!

I get 95% of my wallpaper file from Digital Blasphemy. It is a pay site. I've been a member for many, many years and think it is worth every penny.

The other 5% come from the monthly screenshot threads here.
