picture address resolution?

I used GMail, and my friend emailed me with some .jpg files attached. I chose "View all Pictures" and another tab was created with all the attached pictures shown. Then I used FlashGot Ctrl+F3 to try downloading all of them at a time but failed. I found that the URL of the pictures seemed like https://mail.google.com/mail/?attid=0.1 ... xxxxxxxxxx. No wonder FlashGot failed to initiate Axel to download these files. Is there any simple solution?
Thank you!!

That's strange.
Does Axel support HTTPS?

Using "Save file as", the default filename is "image0001.jpg" but using wget the default file name is "index.html?attid=0.1&disp=emb&view=att&th=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" How strange!!!

Using "axel https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=x ... &disp=imgs" resturns the message: Too many redirects and the task failed.

How could the same file be saved in different names just because using different programs?
What is "redirects"?
